UN1 transaxles may not be the most common over here, but the do appear to be had rather inexpensivly. And since they all come from 4-cylinder engines, they pretty much all have the tigher gear ratios. If I would have known this before, I might have completed a tranny swap with my new clutch. The shift patterns are the same, but I don't know if any modifications are needed to adapt the shift linkage and crossgate cable. My question here is if perhaps the DeLorean application of the transaxle isn't prehaps a victim of shoddy parts from Renault? I've seen applications where both a 350Bhp PRV is mounted to the same tranny, and where even the Rover V-8 has been used as well. they all appear to stand up well to the power being delievered. I've also seen online various webpages that claim that anywhere from 300-400 horsepower can be absorbed by it safely. So is it possible that along with varied gear ratios, that the quality of the internals may also be varied as well? -Robert vin 6585 "X"
