guess not.. the valver cluch is bigger if I can remember.

why do you want a valver gearbox?

there more durable than the 1.4? i maybe wrong lik ei say the engine side of things aint my thing

i think the gearing of the valver is different to be suited to the diff engine characteristics. I dont reckon the RT would benefit fro mthe valver box, but id be interested to know the outcome if anyone did this!

valver box probably isnt any stronger than the RT one, and it would definitely be too long for the RT as well, designed to keep the F7P engine on the boil in a 2000 rpm range at the top of the revs. Stick with a short RT box if I were you. The WIlly box is definitely stronger than the others, but that is longer than any other Clio box.
