Has anyone an orig. Clio 197 Differential lying around?

My bet: From a Clio R3. This would be no Torsen Diff then. Good fit for Rally Stages with much gravel. Not so much on the road.

But i´m just guessing here.

I might be wrong, but is the R26 gearbox not the same, bar ratios and LSD, as the 197 box? So could you not use the diff in the R26 box?

all megane rs have the ND0 gearbox type.
clio 197 have the TL4 gearbox type.
all different...

Is there really that much advantage of having the ATB diff?

Im all for more traction an such but perhaps if i had a turbo or more power i could justify the cause abit more?

 

[arno samimi]

of course, the effect of the atb with more power will be even stronger...
but there is also a matter how and where you drive your clio197...

on tracks with tighter curves / mountain roads / wet weather conditions,
so everywhere you can get slip when accelerating, it's an advantageous.
it's like extra power, otherwise you lose, so you can run faster on the road.

tuning the clio197 engine is more complicated and expensive...

I've never had problems with traction out of the corners though.

 

[arno samimi]

ok, then you don't need it with your driving style.
perhaps other already...

everyone should know himself if he needs it or not.

in any case, each cup version has fitted a locking differential.
and these vehicles have no more power as the serial versions.
