205 Gti6 With 6 Speed Box Change

[Spiky 37]

hi,

 

changing a 206 gti6 running a gti6 box to a be3 205 1.9 box

 

things i need to change?

 

gear rods?

 

gear selecter arm from gear stick?

[Masekwm 2]

Clutch kit and cable set up, the rest should be as it was irc.

 

If you want to retain the '6 Clutch then I guess it would be the opposite of fitting a Xsara box, so you'd fit the 306 clutch arm & bits.

 

You did mean 205 GTi6?

if you do a search on fitting a 6 box in a 205 its just the reversal mate

yeah sorry meant 205 gti6

 

changing to mi16 clutch is needed isn't it? as the be3 wont work with the gti6 clutch?

[blessed6383 0]

yes mate your need a mi16 clutch

[Masekwm 2]

You could just swap the '6 box for a Xsara one

[Spiky 37]

yeah, been searching too

 

 

mi16 clutch

be3 selectar arm

be3 clutch arm

be3 gearstick?

we could, but mate has bought a rebuilt box and contains a diff

 

 

we hoping "6" box is a later one, else we need drive shaft

[welshpug 1,627]

if it has a "diff" then you wont have driveshaft issues afaik

 

 

be3 will work with a gti6 clutch, gti6 is a BE3....

 

 

if the work to make the gti6 box work in a 205 has been done, just transfer the clutch arm to the new box, saves buying a new MI16 clutch

what is it running at the moment?

 

full gti6 setup in a 205 engine and box...

dont think your need to change the gearstick as canged my mi16 to '6' box and using standard gearstick

[welshpug 1,627]

see edit!

[Spiky 37]

where was your reverse? as this has a lift up like a be1

[blessed6383 0]

ah maybe then as mines a ph2

[welshpug 1,627]

all BE 205 gearsticks are the same.

[blessed6383 0]

there all seleved with lift reverse? did think so

[Spiky 37]

sweet, so just need the clutch arm

 

and so no need to change gear stick,

 

but just the gear selector arm? or is that fine too?

 

this all sounds to easy..lol

[welshpug 1,627]

the arm on the box will need to be a 205 one, just change it for the one off the box in the car, same as the clutch arm unless yuo want to keep that on there for selling it on.

 

in that case a TD arm will do as they are pull type too.

 

 

all 205 gearsticks are the same, what is on the top or around the shaft differs yes, but the stick is the same.

[Spiky 37]

cheers for the info

 

less work than we though

[welshpug 1,627]

yeah it sounds like it if the work to make a gti6 box fit in a 205 has already been done

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

But why a 1.9 box, LOL.

 

But as said just swap everything from the old box to the neew one, Job done.

Thou is the N.S shaft is the 306 one or like a few do chop it down then I would get a new one to ensure the splines lock in

so the splines are the same, just longer on the 306? he's quite prepared to purchase new shaft

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Splines are shorter on the 06's, thats why some companies (Up North) cut them down which when you come to change the shaft makes it a complete pigs ear to do.
