Guest georgerbrs Posted December 4, 2006 Hi there, I have recently bought a second hand gearbox to replace the (broken) one currently in my 1.9 205. The box is marked BE3 and is nearly identical but on closer inspection I noticed a few differences: 1. The plastic insert (circled green) is a different shape to that on my current box. 2. My current box does not have the hole (circled red) that the new one has. 3. The gear linkage (circled blue) on my current box is straight and as you can see, this one is curved. Picture here : http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/geo...01646marked.jpg Can anyone tell me what this gearbox is from? Will it fit my 205 (91 reg)? Thank you very much for your help.

Sandy 189 Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Looks like it's a 405 one. You can drive out the rollpin on the lever (blue) and swap it for the 205 one, then it's ready for action. Edited December 4, 2006 by sandy309 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest georgerbrs Posted December 4, 2006 Brilliant, thank you very much. George Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest georgerbrs Posted December 4, 2006 And another thing, are the ratio's the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S33GAV 0 Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Looks like an mi16 box to me. If it is (hopefully someone will confirm) then it's v.similar to a 1.6 box and nothing like a 1.9 box (In terms of ratios I mean). Edited December 4, 2006 by S33GAV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest georgerbrs Posted December 4, 2006 Sounds promising, so it should have a shorter ratio than my 1.9 box? It wouldn't surprise me that it was an Mi16 box as the guy who sold me it had an Mi16 205. Can anybody confirm? Gearbox also has '6FG' and 'TT' Printed on casting.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 5, 2006 It could be a Derv box thou, fitted to 306's etc, With that linkage on being fitted in a 205 is a complete load of ******* Does the TDC sensor hole look like if anything been in there? and what's the date stamp, you'll find this in the middle of a circle of dot's., Giving month (Dots) and year, I.E. 92 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted December 5, 2006 Look at the holes for mounting the PAS pump bracket. They don't look like they've ever been used to me. So I'd guess it's not an mi16 box (unless it was from a 2.0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest georgerbrs Posted December 5, 2006 The TDC sensor hole has been used, is the securing mechanism for the TDC sensor the same as on a 205? I can't find these dots with the date.....? George Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 5, 2006 the dates on the flat bit just below the breather and inbetween the 2 bolt holes, Looks like around 93 ish, Odd as the speedo drive is correct as is the clutch arm, But to make sure ytou can just take the Diff cover off and check the number stamped in the crownwheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest georgerbrs Posted December 5, 2006 Thank you, i'll check the crownwheel tomorrow. George Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
