Diesel and 1.6 GTi driveshafts are the same.

 

1.9 GTi driveshafts are different.

I take it you found This OK:D

 

You will need a different clutch btw for your xm turbo? if thats what I think your planning?

i saw that yea. so it means i can use one with another clutch? or that i cant because the 306 box because its a pull instead if a push.?? il stick to the 1.6 idea till im richer..

doesnt matter what box you use, just use the relevan gearing.

 

the Pivot points for both types of clutch mechanism are in the same place so its just a case of swapping the release lever over and some of the cable brackets.

Fitting a box from a 306 or XM into a 205 will mean that a selector arm needs swapping so you can select any gears, this has to be done with the box off the car & with care so the shaft doesn't drop causing you to loose a few gears.

 

A search should bring up some methods as its been done before, both successfully & un-successfully.
