Possible to rebuild jc5 diesel to be jc5 130?

[Ex-User (107751)]

My box is completely destroyed, including the housing.
Unfortunately I cannot buy another clio RS box in my country, I can only import a used one , which costs about 4 times more than it should (I'm outside Europe).
Is it possible to buy a used clio diesel/kangoo box and rebuild it with a jc5 130 kit, and get the correct gear ratios?

I would think yes,
but @NorthloopCup will confirm/call me a f**king idiot and tell me to be quiet.

It depends on what bearing setup is in the box tbh. The input shaft is slightly different in a box that requires preload on the input shaft compared to one that doesn't. The casings themselves are identical to look at until you open them up and find that the bearing setup is different.

Iirc @Bunta had a kangoo box fitted to his 172 cup and the ratios were fine.

Do you happen to know what jc5 model it is?

Try pm'ing @Bunta mate he will be able to help. I'll text him for you to let him know about this thread.

I would imagine with all the parts costs involved buying a new warranted box from renault direct would be the best option. These can be had for £714 delivered

Probably not, because.
