    I didnt think the 1300 box was suitable for a 1800,
    Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!

      Correct ratios are different but more importantly the number of splines on the input shaft are different. You could swap the clutch plate around but the 1.3 has a smaller diameter so may not take the torque of a 1.8.
