Title: Europa/Renault Gearbox
Post by: J Y D on Monday,December 02, 2013, 12:37:46 PM
 :newhere: Having a garage clear out and came across a Renault/Europa gearbox. This box was bought new in the eighties and actually fitted to my Europa at the time :headbanger: only for it to dawn exactly how much of a plonker I had been. 4 reverse gears and one forward :FUNNY: wasn't laughing at the time. Anyway I was wondering if it was of any use in a Europa (internals/bellhousing or even casings) or is it scrap? I'd hate to bin something that someones been searching for so I came on here to ask the massive. :confused:

The R16 336 gearbox is exactly the same except for the final drive crown wheel. You can't flip it to get 4 forward gears in a Europa. But all of the components could be used to repair a damaged Europa 336 gearbox.

Kind regards,

Serge
