Hi again!
Had a topic earlier about a 353-13 gearbox for my R8G. Have now replaced primary shaft bearing on that box. It is back in the car again, and seems to work good. While I fixed my 353-13 box, I had another 5 speeed in the car, but it seemed as that gearbox also needed some bearing attention. That box went out again last summer, and waited for my inspiration to come back , to be opened up. Got it open last week and replaced input shaft bearings for that one too. I then noticed it had a slightly different gearing ratio for 1. and 2. gear, compared to the stock 353 box.
Ratios are as follows: ________ Stock
1. - 43x14= 3,07 _____________ 3,61
2.. - 39x23= 2,25 _____________ 2,36
3. - 39x23= 1,69 _____________ 1,69
4. - 35x27= 1,29 _____________ 1,29
5. - 32x31= 1,03 _____________ 1,03
Are theese gear ratios familiar to some of you gearbox expert? Know back in the days you could get other gear sets, but this one may be put together from different sources of other Renault gearboxes. Just curious to know
And it also have a 9x34 final drive, so it might be nice for road use
