Renault UN1 gearbox?

[Steve_D]

Anybody know this 'box in detail?
Looking on the back of the box there is the main selector lever coming in on the left side.
Around the middle top there is a second selector shaft.
Beside that is (on the 'box I have) an open threaded hole which I suspect should house a selector detent plunger and spring.



The 'box in this pic appears to be the same.

Can anyone tell me what should be in there and does it matter that it is not?

The 'box is going into an EVO200 kitcar.

Thanks
Steve

On mine, the only thing connected is the main selection shaft. The secondary is removed/not connected and I can't remember the "detent" hole - I'll check.

Many thanks.
Yes, I will only be using the main selector.

The hole I have looks like it would have held some sort of detent spring and plunger. What I don't know is whether I have to have these bits or do I just fit a bung to the hole.

No, found that down on the side.

No, that's the little green wire poking out the side, I think (although that might be the speed sensor too, I can't remember on account of last paying attention to it in about 1999).
Afraid it'll be the weekend before I get a chance to look.

Can you post a picture of the actual hole, possible showing what's inside ?

Depending exactly what you're referring to ( almost impossible to see on the small picture yo're referencing ), it could well be a shift detent
