Differences between DCi 65 and 80 gearbox's?

[JezzaMac]

I'm looking for a new gearbox for my DCi 80 and a cheap DCi 65 gearbox has come up for sale close to me.

My question is: Is there anything different between the two gearbox's or am I ok to stick the 65 box on my 80?

Cheers

It'll be fine. Just slightly higher geared (200rpm difference at 70 in 5th)

Ideally you want an 80 box as its the stronger jc5 rather than a jb3 but both will do fine

I think il just go for the 65 box just now as it's only £80 and just up the road from me and the car only cost me £350!

Cheers lads!
