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.
youve got no money!
Sell your Cup and put the £2k down on a new 197?
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:
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.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.
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.
As aboveyouve got no money!
agreed
:lolup:loook.. sell your cup and by a 6speed gearbox. That way you get the gearbox youve always wanted and out of debt
I don't know if the new ratio 197 gearbox would fit, but you'd be hard pushed to find one anyway.

from a dci...PP7 I think the code is.
I have no experience of them, so cant comment on durability...
Its Renault, nuff said!
