RossD 44 Posted November 27, 2007 Does anybody know (maybe Sandy!?) if an MA gearbox from a 2001 306 will fit an earlier (1995 ish) TU5 engine? Did they change the fitment for the later engines? Reason being is that I have seen a half decent gearbox from a 2001 306 1.4 advertised and I'm half tempted to go for it, but obviously if its not going to fit there will be no point. I know the ratios wont be perfect (I can't see a 1.4 306 being that loooong geared though!) but I can always sort that out later. Cheers Ross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted November 27, 2007 It will bolt on, but the 306 external selector mechanism is wrong, wrong, wrong. More wrong than calling someone that eats fish a vegetarian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RossD 44 Posted November 28, 2007 So in essence its not a bolt on job to fit a 306 gearbox.... Can the selector arms be swapped without taking the box apart? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted November 28, 2007 The casings aren't drilled the same, the 306 has a single lever mechanism, as opposed to the two lever system on other models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Ah ok, that clears things up. Right, the hunt goes on.... Cheers Edit: One sec.... The ebay picture shows two gearchange levers and the auction states "This is the type with twin outputs". Take a look.... Ebay auction #: 110197363794. The gearchange mech at the top looks to be 90 degrees out though... Edited November 28, 2007 by RossD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted November 28, 2007 You can switch to cable shift and use it with a little fab work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
