Baz 421 Posted January 2, 2009 Same be3 fitment yes, ratio's are different though i'd presume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,622 Posted January 2, 2009 they should both be BE3 or 4 boxes, and will both fit, though the gear ratios may be different, as will the clutch release mechanism. some of the bellhousings do have additional mounting points, but this doesn't affect its mounting to different engines as far as I know. what gearbox are you trying to source?

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 3, 2009 A scrappy or Ebayer will say this as they have no idea what anything is bar a Peugeot Gearbox as long as they get a sale is all they want, Yes it will fit but if it's suitable is another matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
