clio f7r with automatic gearbox

[sennaalbronda]

hello,
is it possible to find a automatic gearbox to just swap into a valver with a f7r engine. such as the baccara 1.8 auto box

The whole idea is that back when these came out my dad used to have these cars. Now he cant drive stick anymore. My dad has and still is very important to me. So i just want to find a solution.

Is there a box that would fit?

The f7r used a jc5 gearbox didn't it? In that case an auto from a MK2 Clio should physically fit but the box wasn't great I don't think, it was used in 1.6 16v Clio initiale.

Your best bet is probably one of the older auto boxes if they fit

Thanks martin. I also found out a laguna from 2002 2.0 16v is a 182 engine with lower compression. It uses a auto. So im just gonna try stuff. Thanks

Someone on here years ago bought a 172 that had been bodged with a Laguna f4r to sell on, so the gearboxes match

There is the small problem of getting this wired up.

I'd try and find out the size of the Laguna box but yeah that's probably your best bet.

It's the ecu side of things that I think could be the stopper.

10 minutes with my wire strippers and soldering iron ?

I'd go full hog and bin the f7r and put a 220 trophy engine and dual clutch box in it though! Why f**k about!
