Hello, i am new to the world of clios and have the opertunity to by a 1.8 williams for buttons, the gearbox has gone but the rest of the car is mint.

I am going to replace the gearbox myself, i am very confident i can do this as i have changed many engines and clutches in the past.

Which gear boxes are compatible? could i fit a gear box from a different engine type? like a 1.2 or 1.4?
i have read about 18poo and 17poo gearboxes but this means nothing to me.

Will any clio mk1 gear box fit? i am not to bothered about the ratios, i am just after a resonably priced gearbox.

Should i be bothered about the ratios?


Any advice will be much appreciated, does any one have a gear box for sale and how much should i pay.

Cheers very much Gav
