Megane 2.0 16V (F7R) that was fitted with JC5 have mechanical speedo meter (every one I've seen). Newer cars that also have JC5, like Clio RS, have electronic speedo meter (ABS).

this has been covered many times on 16valver,

phase 1 172's JC5 is useable as its cable driven...long 5th!
phase 2 172*182 jc5 isnt as they take the speedo off the driveshafts
megane jc5 has speedo mechanical speedo with an electronic converter that you can pull out and put regular speedo in.
clio/megane diesel jc5 is useable but has silly long ratios... ruins the car imo
Williams Jc5 is the best of the bunch as the ratios are better shorter 4th slightly longer 5th

Guys, many of Hungarian Mk1 Clios are running on non-speedocable'd gearbox. A machine shop can cut the thread into the gearbox housing for the speedo cable. It's solveable, it's not problem.

By the way, here is my gearbox software: http://www.freeweb.hu/yanooka/downlo...valtok_1_1.exe

It helps a lot if you want to match a gearbox to your engine. English version will be available later.

some early phase 2 clio 172 boxes work as well as they still run the mechanical to electronic convertors inside the gearbox rather than the abs speedo setup. not all do however so you need to check, its typical renault by the looks of it, whatevers left in the parts bin they bunged on the cars! seen an 02 plate phase 2 172 with mechanical drive in the gearbox and a 51 plate the same

you need a mark 2 clio battery tray and top mount to run any megane, laguna or mark 2 clio gearbox as well but they are straight bolt in so not hard to do
