406 HDi 110/90 Gearboxes

[silverzx]

Are the 406/Xantia 2.0 HDi 110/90 bhp gearboxes the same as the 90bhp 306 boxes?

Looking to fit a HDi box into the 205 XUD and my local scrap yard has plenty of 110 and 90 406's.

What else is needed for the conversion from a BE2 box (1.8D XUD)?

Cheers!

might i ask why your after an hdi box? true they have bigger gaps in the ratios for overall economy but in my opinion its kinda pointless if you want a fast xud as its all about the acceleration in these.
not too sure if the 406 hdi box is exactly the same as the 306 one, but i cant imagene it would be very different. you will need a donar xud gearbox to swap the puller mechanism over to the hdi box, fairly simple to do

if you want a quick box with a slightly longer 5th gear, have a look into a 405 dturbo gearbox

I THINK the 406 110 box has a different number of splines. Just something you might wanna check.

I have a 1.9DT BE3 box already but thought I'd go for a BE4 this time.

They're hydraulic clutch and iirc don't have the place for the arm/lever to go in

Its a personal preference thing I thought the hdi was an upgrade, for me a big upgrade and really thought the car was faster with one, its less work also imo as you have to keep feeding the dt box gears.
And theres 60 in second and 90 in third

Ok cheers for the info guys.

The 110 box's are ml5 and have different splines and duel mass flywheels.
