Hi, I'm brand new to this forum, I found it after googling most of the world looking for information of 480 gearbox's.
I recently blew 5th gear in my 480 Turbo which has an M59 gearbox, I was wondering if the gearbox from my 480ES which has an M57 gearbox would fit my Turbo.
Does any one know the difference?
Thanks in advance Rob

Thanks for all the advice, is there another gearbox out of a Renault that will fit and give better life span. I have a heavy right foot and worried it will blow again.
A local gearbox centre has said they could change 5th gear with the box still in the car but I thinki t wont last long. I would rather change the box to a more reliable item if there is such a thing.
Would any one be intrestind in making an offer for the car once it got a box full of all it's gears, it's a 1993 turbo, 101000 miles 8 months MOT 4 good tyres, in good condition with a bit of rust on the back arches?
I fancy a C70

Gearbox types
1. the ratios between a -es and turbo boxes are different, but not alot. They belong to the same Renault M50 series.
2. all 480 boxes have electronic speedo pickups. 440s and 460s are mechanical. They can be used, but a mod has to be done. Email me & I'll forward you pictures of two I have done.
3. I really doubt whether the extra torque from the turbo engine will harm the -es box. Do you hammer the poor thing? The -es box is used in 1.7 and 2.0 litre cars... Just be sure to use the right bronze safe transmission oil. There's a huge thread on that subject...and not all postings are correct...
