New owner of a turbo micra

[CMF_Gandrud]

Hello people! This is my first post here so im sorry if i posted in the wrong forum

I recently purchased a 1999 Micra 1,3 with turbo, and i managed to wreck the gearbox after a couple of days...
Ive heard that the gearbox most frequently used in tuned micras are the one that is in the Sunny GTI's. Is this a fact? And does it fit directly into the micra without having to adjust something?

Thanks

no probs.
i think the 1.4/1.6 almera/primera is a straight swop, but maybe you need the inner c/v joints too ?
and post some pic,s of your beast !

A normal gearbox from a 1.3 with low milage would work fine
for the low pressure boost the Micra you have baught is running.

Im just guessing here, but i bet it is the apple green one.

All depends on how you treat the car..
If you floor it from the time you turn the kea to when you
park the car it wont last too long.

Cheers, congats with the new car and welcome to the forums!
