Renault 352 trans axle

Renault 352 trans axle It came out of a lotus would this be a good trans axle to use?
Thanks Earl

Isn't the Lotus V8 tranny the usual UN1 we all use? I thought it was but with a different shifter mechanism plus most likely different mounts and bell housing. Can anyone confirm? When Lotus began using the renault boxes I remember the prices of the UN1 rocketed up!

Malcolm,
Lotus fit the UN1 027 to the Esprit, or the 028 on the Esprit GT3. Both are uprated by Lotus.

I believe that this is an early lotus transaxle from the europa. Its modern equivalent is the NG-3 from a fuego. Neither is well regarded by my local french car wrecker, so I'd say they are not suitable.
