Clio mk1 gearbox

[deanoE30M3]

Does the mk 1 Clio 1.8 16v share the same gearbox as any other Renaults?!

Any info would be great..

Ratios and fd I'd say no, something else that can be used 100% yes.

It`s a JB3, so should marry up to the F7P in the clio and the wheels will go round.

@NorthloopCup or Rensport will have more experience/knowledge than me.

Depends on what you mean as bolt on. For me the best option is just to convert the upper gearbox mount and battery tray to the mk2 clio setup and then anything from a mk2 clio fits.

Bell housing wise all jb3 and jc5 boxes bolt on, they just revised the top mount assembly in the later cars.

If however he's a purist and wants to keep it original then only a 1.8 16v has the correct combination of ratios and mounting to be correct

And no this is not the right straight bolt on gearbox, that's one that requires the alternative top mount so may as well go newer and clio 172
