I guess your North/ South thing means vice et versa, Mike? Yes, the 16 was gearbox first and mid-engineered with the engine fitted "into" the bulkhead. First aluminium engine for the RĂ©gie and a very clever solution to make room in the trunk, you could move the rear seat up to the roof lining and make profit with a flat floor. This model got the success it deserved certainly helped by the TS version.
Delta is right, Renault gearboxes have always been slow and fragile (Porsche and Simca too).
