[jpc]

anybody know if there is a differnet gearbox for different engines in clios?

ive got a 53 reg clio with a fooked gearbox, now ther 2100quid from renault, just wondered how if i could put a gearbox from a 1.4 in there?

any experts in the know?

why would you want to?

...and i don't think it could handle the dci 100 either.

not sure on the dci though.

plus you have warranty!!

Shouldn't be a problem. I think they're both JB3 jobbies but they may have slightly different ratios. Wouldn't cause too much of a problem though as it's a DCI not just a plain diesel so it'll rev about the same as a petrol anyway.

dci's use the jc5 gearbox, same series as the 172/williams

j3ned is your man

how did you break the box by the way?

surely it's covered under warranty anyways.

 

[TD172]

Yeah just looked. JC5-128. And you're right £2075.00

OUCH!!! That must be the most expensive gearbox renault do.

Someone is selling a 1.5 DTI engine and box on ebay at the minute. May be worth a sniff just for the box.

The 100 uses the sam box as the 172/182 (jc5) so any one of them will fit but the ratios are hugly different.
Best find a gearbx from a 80dci or 100dci 9both use the JC5. The 65dci uses the jc3 box

well...had a crash, hit a wall on the underside of the clio!

insurance have said that it might be worth repairing it, if the gearbox is ok. ther having a look at it, but theyve said if they take it apart n find the gearbox is fooked theres no point repairing it.

if the gearbox is ok, think the repair will be 5k ish.

I don't mean to be harsh but if your paying yourself I'd forget it better buy a new car and break yours.
If insurance are paying ask them for a write off value you can but a 172 conversion kit for £1.5k all suspension etc included then buy the panels from a breakers for much less then you'll have 172 engine instead of the dci.

Totally agree. At £2000+ for a gearbox. I wouldn't want to know I had that engine/box combo in my car. lol
