Clio RS197 & Megane RS250 gear ratios?

[trackspec197]

Does anyone know what gear ratios and FD both cars have? I'm toying with the idea of buying a Megane RS250 LSD gearbox for the Clio but would like to compare the ratios before hand in case they won't suit.

I don't believe the 250 box will fit. It won't fit to the 225 engine so I assume the Clio engine is the same.

I'd imagine the gears would be longer in the 250 box, possibly resulting in slower acceleration?

Turns out Sean that you're right

Instead going back to originally plan an having a LSD fitted.

Does anyone know what difference there between the ratios in the early 197 to later ones?

 

[DS197]

Older box gets to 60 in 2nd, later ones get to 60 in 3rd. Also later boxes have a slightly longer 6th gear
