NEW to 206info. mind, the whole forum thing is new to me. iv got a 206. 1.4 GLX. im pretty sure the diff has gone as there is no drive in my car, but when in gear, all i hear is a loud clicking noise. i iniitially thought it was a drive shaft problem, but after replacement, the problems still there..
so iv decided.... new gearbox.
im cabable of changing it myself as i have 4 years at college doing motor engineering under my belt.
but something they dont teach you... is what gearbox will fit in its place?
scrapyards want to sell me the same one for £120, but a few other people have offered me different ones. and i know gear ratios and all that, would be different, e.g banging a 1.1 gearbox will make me faster off the line, but lower my top speed. this doesnt bother me,..
but what i am asking on here, is what TYPE of gearboxs will fit my car?! i read somewhere that the gearbox is an MA gearbox.
someone has offered me a 1.1 206 gearbox. and someone else has offered me a 1.4 205.
another question.... mine is a 16v petrol, im not sure what the car was they came off. but would it matter if it came off an 8v?
cheers in advance. Smile[b]

Enter your chassis number on servicebox and it will give you the type of box that was fitted from the factory. The 8v was a BVM5. For the 16v BE4 seems to be mentioned a lot.

f*** me that was pointless over complicated macca
You run a simple MA box at the end of the day, found on any TU engine (ie 1.1, 1.4, 1.6, saxo, 106 etc). The other model of cars will fit the block but may not fit the vehicle so just check first
Side note i have a 206 1.6 one for sale, £50?
