Is a TU9/TU1 transmission strong enough for a TU5?

[idev99]

Hello guys,

My transmission on my Saxo VTR recently gave out, and I have a TU9 or TU1 (it's either a 1.0L or 1.1L, I can't remember) with the transmission still lying around.
From what I can see, it looks like the transmission will fit just fine, but I can't seem to find any information on the torque figures these transmissions can handle...

Anyone got any ideas or experience with this?

Thanks!

From memory the TU5 gearboxes including the diesels were stronger. I think it was the differential. Again though, I haven't touched one of these for 15 years!

They do just bolt right on though, and it was a common thing back in the day to use a 1.1 gearbox in place of a 1.6 16v gearbox as the ratios were the same, if not very similar. The 1.6 8v (vtr) gearbox had much longer gearing.
