hybrid gearbox gave up

[luke2405]

driving yesterday no problem going all the way up through the gears but as soon as i try to change down into second crunch at and speed slow or fast tried double declutching still crunches so i guess its time for a new box :dapprove:

williams box is the obvaous chioce but is there anything else that can be put on to a willy lump ? that will last longer than my valver box

Jb1

 

[donsrno1]

I wouldn't think a jb1 will necessarily last longer (proabably the same sort of time) than a valver box, but it will certainly fit and is pretty much as strong as a valver box and will probably be a bit cheaper.

im looking at putting a williams box in but i heard someone has put a diesel box in ? didnt know if this would be any better or anything >?

 

[Paddy_g46]

get a jb5 i think it is (mk1 rt?) they are strong as fook and have a better acceleration due 2 the gear ratios

 

[donsrno1]

rt is a jb1 (i'm pretty sure it is anyway). Don't think there is a JB5???? Not totally sure though.

 

[Paddy_g46]

^ thats the 1!

 

[u33db]

JC5 is a williams box and suppossedly the strongest.

Diesel box has the wrong ratios and will kill acceleration but give good top speed.

JB1 is 1.2/RT etc...as donsrno1 said it'll probably last as long as a 16v (JB3) box.

yeh trying to find one know any one got a spare? what clutch should i use ?might as well chane it while the box is off

thanks

 

[donsrno1]

go for the standard clutch imo, as I've never heard of any problem with them. Standard part is valeo, which is £100+ from renault but I got one for £70 or so from a local motor factors (brown brothers). The one I got came as a unipart one but was stamped as a valeo.

Have a search on WIlliams Clio there a few ways to do it. Most popular to drop the subframe a bit.
