JC5 Gearbox research
Hi guys, I finally fell foul of the 5th gear gator nut coming loose and destroying the box.
volvo v40 estate 51 plate, 1.8 petrol Im currently trying to find a matching gearbox, Volvo tell me its an MT5 gearbox Vin breakdown suggest its (3) - M3P, M5P, M5D I found a renault stamp on the bellhousing with 7700600055 part number This has led me on a goose chase, an ebay search came up with a volvo gearbox titled volvo V40 S40 JC5-227 Can anyone definitively tell which gearbox I should be searching for? there were no stickers on the dead gearbox that I could see, only the Renault part number. I do not have access to it until monday as its at the garage. Breakers have already supplied the wrong one and are being dicks. Volvo are useless. Maybe you knowledgable lot can help?

What you need is a gearbox from a 1.8 Volvo engined S40/V40 up until 2002. This very same gearbox was used in the 1.6 litre models up till the very end in 2004.
This box is also called the JB3 I'm pretty sure, but I was never too certain of contemporary Renaults that it was used in. I think that Volvo used their own bell housing in the S40/V40 anyhow, which means you're probably better off finding a replacement from a like for like car. |
