Depends on how the conversion was done, if done properly you need to swap1. Clutch Arm and shaft 2. Diff 3.

1.6 and 1.9 gearsticks are the same, as are BE1 and BE3, they just dont have the cable stuff attached.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Ok so it looks like a straight swap gearbox wise i did change the i think it was the inner driveshaft due to the diff seals being different on a gti6 box would this driveshaft be ok for the vts box or would i have to change it back to 1.9 gti spec ? ________________________________________ 205 GTI6 235 bhp at 7400 rpm |

all BE diff seals are the same, the gti6 diff is the same as a vts diff so keep your shaft as it is.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

no, they're 5 speed, a bit stronger, also fit better in a 205 than a 6 speed box.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I changed as i preferred the 5 speed to the 6 speed, for track work ideally but it's also still a weekend toy.Not that i've driven it since. :'( ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |
