use a Xsara VTS box instead if you're after 5 speeds. Otherwise it's not a straight swap, I think you need to use an 405 mi16 clutch.________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

Is this due to the casing or the internals ? |

I was under the impression that you would just have to change the selector fork over and possibly move the mount. Don't see why the clutch would have to be changed. I used a 405 Mi16 box in my 205 and its the same box as the Xsara VTS. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I used a 405 Mi16 box in my 205 and its the same box as the Xsara VTS. A 205 box uses a push clutch not a pull clutch hence why people fit an mi16 clutch as it bolts straight on to the 6 flywheel, is bigger than a 205 one and is a push type. It may be possible to swap the clutch fork assy and retain the pull clutch?  to a xsara vts box but why would you want to fit a 5 speed to the rallye?________________________________________ How to do a clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Think the speedo drive assembly will need swapping over as well if you want an accurate speedo.Both the plastic cog that pulls out of top of diff and the plastic drive pinion in the diff. |
