Gearbox interchangable?

[dodgymike]

Evening all

I bought a 197 a few weeks ago, I got it cheap as a pt ex from my sis who has a garage. The gearbox syncro has gone, (crunches when going into 4th) not too bothered as boxes are cheap enough. I see that there are 2 variants for the box, will either box fit the 197 or does it have to be a like for like replacement?
The 2 boxes are below,

I have a 56 plate clio,

Sorry for those who view this as a simple question but I just drive and dont fix so havent a clue

If they are interchangable which one would you guys suggest, price isnt an issue as only £50ish between the two

Also, how long to change a box, have a mech friend whom I will get to do the spannering, just like a heads up before I agree a price

Thanks in advance

You want the 024. Longer ratio for 6th.

And around about 5 hours. I think Renault say 5.1 or something.

I'd do the clutch etc if I was you as well...

Yeah. They're just soiled. But unfitted

I have an 06 197 with a 200 box. 6th is nice and long

 

[dodgymike]

I was hoping they could be changed fir the longer ratio one, revs high when plodding along so a longer sixth would be nice

 

[gaz]

tbf they are all interchangeable

Yeah, only the ratios are different.

I've got one of them gearboxes ready to be fitted in the next few months. Going to bang in a new clutch at the same time.

I fear the Akra brought a premature end to 4th gear

Bought it today, got a bit of discount buying over the phone, all in all with a clutch il have this done all in for £600 so no complaints

Now to get that de-cat pipe ordered

This thread has a very clear explanation of the differences between the gearboxes.
