Caveats and conflicts (2)

Cannot tell which of BE1 or BE3 applies. A separate forum says the BX diesel box is BE3.
Forum, not OEM; applies to 205 by the thread's wording.

Forum. French Car Forum thread: BE1 is the 5-speed in 305/205-family cars with reverse up by first; change to BE3 around 1988/89. [link]
