Everything from the 1.4 upwards shifts!
My first car was a Mk2 Renault 5 with a 1.4 single point injection OHV engine. For what it was at the time it could shift at some but was noisy as hell. I remember when I got a ZX with OHC engine sometimes thinking it'd conked out at junctions as it was so quiet compared to the 5.
I also ended up buying a Mk1 R5 GTL in 2004 that I intended to turn into a Gordini replica but I had three other cars on the go at the same time and this one kept falling to the bottom of the pile and nothing really got done with it. As it was taking up space I ended up ebaying it and a guy in Hants bought it then relisted it a week later minus it's roof! All he'd wanted it for was a roofskin transplant to delete a nasty 80's aftermarket sunroof on his
