I don't know if the new ratio 197 gearbox would fit, but you'd be hard pushed to find one anyway.
What you probably want is a Ph1 172 gearbox. They are a bit longer, the car will do 120mph in 4th.
Can be had quite cheap, will make your car feel less revvy and perhaps feel a bit slower point to point on the B road bash, but will lengthen out your 5th.

Anything will fit if you have a big enough hammer, or a big enough cheque book.
If you are asking whether its a practicable conversion, the answer is most definitely not. First of all it won't bolt up to the block you have. And secondly its too long.
correct, the bottom end although similar internally has totally different bolt spacing, but yeah, could be done... I guess the obvious solution would be to just use the whole engine and sell the existing one.

would still need fairly major fabrication work to the front chassis leg even with use of the 197 lump and box, from quickly looking over it myself. Not impossible but pretty time consuming (costly) and the fab work would be critical to structural integrity. If you're going to mod the body and change the engine like that I think it's worth fitting the 225 lump rather than the 197

2k for a cup is that all you think they are worth? or is that a cliosport guesstamite :rasp:
I was thinking he could pay off some debts with the other £20.
If you were feeling flush, I guess you could take your current box and swap the 5th gear cog for one from the above box, assuming it's only the individual ratios that are different and not the final drive thing.
the gears are integral on the input shaft, so you cant mix and match so to speak.
the 197 'box, im right in thinking its the same as a megane 6 speed (PP7?)??
Imagine it will be...
They arent any longer than a JC5 suprisingly, I compared one side-by-side a month or so back.

loook.. sell your cup and by a 6speed gearbox. That way you get the gearbox youve always wanted and out of debt 
I'd even say the 6th gear on them is shorter than 5th on a 1*2... I remember 70mph seemed to be pretty high up the revs?

The Ph1 Gearboxes may be going cheap but may have double the miles on them compared to a 172/182 gearbox as its a few years older
And maybe a harder life, you can't really tell when buying a gearbox its a bit of a amble how long it'll last unless its a refurb.
With the Ph1 172 coming down in price into the price range of chavs a good few have probably been taken to every inch of there life
haha, fair point Craig, so the lads bought a couple of spares then? lol
There must be a box off another car that can be used with a bit of faffing? First person to find that solution will be quids in, I went through 5 gearboxes on the Willy in 4 years... oops
As for Ph1 172 boxes I think they are pretty good... for Renault. Mine's done 86k so far and led a hard life lol
