Gearboxes!

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Hi All,

I just had a VERY interesting chat with a gentleman who's big in the
classic Renault world over here. His number was given to me during my
search for a new end casing for my D's box.

He does a lot of work with these boxes, has a huge stash of parts
(offered me an entire box for £150) and CAN WORK WITH INTERCHANGING
RATIOS.

If you'd like your D to move a bit quicker off the line, he can drop the
final drive ratio (as per the Euro spec cars) and make the ratios closer
etc etc. Whatever you want basically, and all done by mix-and-matching
parts from the different incarnations of the same box.

I did check he could modify the transaxle for the rear-mounting and
there's no problem at all.

He also told me these boxes can take anything up to 450bhp with no ill
effects.

There's nothing wrong with my box except for this hole in the case, and
it needed a new nut on the shaft (£12 from Renault)

Seeya
