Got a new 'box at last!

Post by Marc »

Yey me!!

I've got a 'box for my coupe off ebay.
£30 for a 214 SEi 'box, done 85k. Bargain!

:D

After 3 weeks without my car I can finally get back on the road soon.
I love my new coupe!!

Sorry to put a downer on your glee, but 214s use a completely different gearbox from the rest of the R8s, a pretty poor Peugeot one.

Yeah. the 1.4s use Peugeot R65 gearboxes, yours should be a PG1 type gearbox (PG1s are "Honda derived" gearboxes)
2x 216 GTi DOHC
2x 220 Coupe Turbo

That's weird though because the casings are exactly the same on
my coupe and the old 414SLi I just sold, and I mean EXACTLY.

Are you guys sure of this :?:

The 214 does use a Pug/Citreon BX derived R65 gearbox.
Worst part of the entire car if you ask me.
