Will the Clio 197 6 speed gearbox fit the Williams??

[kneesparks]

As title, i can get one of these for less than it will cost me for a recon unit on the JC5 plus it would have an extra gear!! If it would fit then its gotta be the way forward, higher top end and better on fuel.
Has anyone already done this?

wont fit, it's too wide and the bolt spacing is totally different.

Mk2 Ph1 172 box is your best bet. Mine's lasted 92k, was lucky to get 9.2k out of a Williams one... went through 3 or 4...

Get the standard Jc5 refurbed.
There quite old boxes now, with a fair bit of mileage.
Wasting time buying second hand boxes is just gambling.

The Jc5's are fine if your mechanically sympathetic ;)

Tis a shame the 6 speed boxes dont fit. Would be novelty.

wont fit still, too wide. GDI have a full engine that I wanted in mine but it wont physically fit :(

im usre someone told me they knew someone who put the 6 speed in a valver, they done with bbtuning, using an adaptor plate, apparently when the box's are next to each other their very similar in size

not trying hard enough

if a 225 meggie lump fits in a 5 turbo shell then a 197 should go in the clio, make it so

Yep all you need is a grinder and a mig welder and anything is possible.
