Yeah the engines are both K4M Josh but the K4M 748 in the Clio isn't exactly the same as the K4M in the Laguna 1998.

What you doing engine change?

 

[Josh@Renparts]

Ive got a laguna on the way that im going to be breaking, is it a direct exhange for a clio Unit? and what shares the Box?

JB3? Used in virtually all Renault Petrols (except 2.0, V6 etc) since they started using it. Clios, virtually all the first shape Meganes/Scenics. It'll fit loads.

Never went in the Laguna 2 and just recently they've started using a 6 speed in even the 1.6 Scenics.

Would the 6 speed fit an older 1.6 16v clio/megane/laguna etc engine?

Reason i ask is cause my friend is looking into rebuilding a 1.4 or 1.6 engine to quite nice spec and 6 speed gearbox would be quite a nice feature, and good for a high revving engine to keep in the power band.

Neither the PK6, TL4 or ND0 will fit.

For a 1.6 a JB3 would do the job. The next jump from a JB3 is the JC5 which Sports/DCI 80s have - no need in a 1.6 or a 1.4.

does the laguna 1.6 16v gearbox fit to laguna 2.0 16v engine?( K4M to F4R )

Yep but why.

CHeck about speedo sensors though you might need a box with sensor so get the right one if the box has the sensor its not an issue if it does or dones't but if you get a box which does't have it your car needs wiring mods to make it work otherwise.

I am putting a 2L engine in my renault laguna 1.6.
I want to try the 1.6 gearbox on the 2L engine first and then change it later. (save money) . If it is not working well I will just buy the 2L gearbox. It's ok to try

Thanks for the info

So is the gearbox from a Laguna 1 a JB3 or not?
