Re: [DMCForum] Lotus Esprit gearbox, same as the DMC



When I started my conversion project, I found similar
information to this..  That the gearbox was popular in
Europe for kit cars and such.

What I was surprised about, is I was unable to find
anyone who made adaptor rings, or custom bell housings
to mate it to other engines.

Here, VW and Porsche have been the trans of coice for
kit cars, and dune buggies (and the like).  There are
a few companies in the USA that make a number of
adaptor rings for VW/Porsche.  If I found a market
like this for the Renault gearbox, it would have saved
me lots of agrivation!
