Hi guys, im just about to post up on ebay my old Willy box, but wanted to know the differences between this and a 16v box. Is it not shorter ratios?

Any help/advice very much welcomed.

Also any tips on what i should be saying would be good. Not a big ebayer! :oops:

Thanks

apparently the Willy has a taller 5th... I have a valver box in mine and top end is identical to a Willy boxed car though... so IMO there is no difference.

Stronger gears?? Maybe they were case hardened or something for the extra power N' torque.

I thought final drive ratio was different too?

I always thought they had lower ratios. Obviously wrong. Anyway its up now, so we'll see what happens. If i find out there are differences before the end of the auction i'll add it to the ad.

Thanks for your responces.

I was reading on Cliosport that Renault have redesigned the diff, it's not held in by a circlip anymore, but by a bolted in metal plate.

Can anybody confirm this?

Yep. I'll confirm this.The JC5 has the diff bolted. The JB3 as found on the valver and R5GTT has the crappy circlip

Is it just the JC5 that has the diff bolted then?

the bearings are stronger/better iirc, also the gears are not all held by circlips like the JB3 boxs, there are heated up and press fitted , cant say on ratios never looked into it
