Renault 5 turbo 2 Transaxle???
Discussion
Hi,
I'm hoping someone may be able to identify the transaxle I have? I was in my late Fathers garage for many years. I think it could be a Renault 369 box and not a UN1? It appears to be new or perhaps rebuilt? Also I see it has an inspection seal or tag through a hole betwween the casing to prevent it from being tampered with... could it be from a racing version?? Any ideas would be good.
Cheers

I remember vaguely a conversation about the box and racing- I could only think of the Renault 5 Turbo… not remembering formula Renault. Any idea if there’s anyone around who knows anything about these boxes? I know the box was purchased years ago with the intention of going into a Ford GT40 replica... that never happened.
Most GT40`s would have used the UN1 from the 21Turbo, R25, R30, Master van.... The NG wouldnt take the torque.
The NG was a whole lot lighter and quite a good box really. Rebuilt loads due to synchro issues but not many other problems. I built several for F Renaults in the early days. What do you need to know?

Only way really is to split the box. Not a difficult job, remove the detent balls and springs from the rear cover, the big linkage bracket on the rear and the rear cover. Bellhousing is already off so just a line of bolts top and bottom plus a couple in the middle. If I remember correctly you lift the cover with the filler plug in, that way you leave the gear sets in place without having to realign the selector forks on reassembly.
