Both of these boxes were good, but I personally would stick to a Renault box since these are mated to a solid flywheel, not a dual mass flywheel like the Volvo boxes were. This is speaking from a brief experience with a 2.0 non turbo phase 2, which decided to throw its flywheel away at just 90K.

I am considering buying a 2.0 non turbo P2, it doesn't have the same Renault box as my 1.6L, if the 2.0 P1 (until 2000) had the Renault box does that mean the 2.0 P2 would also accept the gearbox of my 1.6L in case I need to swap ?
Regarding the flywheel failure, what does that mean mechanically and cost wise (assuming you need to go to a repairshop )?
