Halloo. Have a Rover 416si april 97 with a rattle during driving. garage says gearbox needs replacing (bad luck). looking for scrappy but that's a problem, until now no scrappy gearbox found (in holland). Does a Honda (concerto i think ) gearbox fit, are the engines the same and the gearboxes interchangeable. Garage says no! If my series is the same as a honda i would like to have the model and type (and type year if its different from 97). Please help me, car still drives but rattle is getting worse.



Greetings Ton Boijmans

Your garage is right. The 416 engine is a rover unit and the concerto is a honda lump. (which probably rotates the opposite way round to the rest of the worlds engines). The gearboxes are also unique. Look for boxes from rover 216 models from the same year(or later) too, they should be the same.
