    Haha yep they definitely made of chocolate haha..

    Ok so i have an astra sri turbo 200+ on an 06 reg.. Gearbox is shot (whines in every gear and very load) and also been empty of oil for some time. It is fitted with the z20ler engine and a type 2 m32 box.. Ive manage to buy a type 2 m32 box from a 1.6 corsa vxr on an 07 reg... I know the final drive is different to my original box (yes it concerns me a bit) but i need this car back on the road asap now as its the only car that can go back on road easiest.. So my question is will this box fit my engine and will it work with my clutch as the diameter of the clutches are 230mm mine 228mm on the corsa vxr.. If my clutch wont be any good will the corsa vxr flywheel and clutch fit my z20ler engine? If none of this is possible then anyone got a better idea then please advise, if i cant use the box you get it on the road now then i might aswell look at better gearbox options that will aid better mpg over all..
    Any advice greatly recieved

    School boy error buying this box and not checking checking the final drives on them (tut tut) ive heard 17 cdti m32 boxes bolt on?

    dude if the boxes bell housing is slightly different just buy some liquid sealer and split the bell housing from your broken M32 and place that on the replacement M32... problem solved... the bell housings are modified for the engines but the boxes are the same except maybe the final drive might be different... this is what i would do if i was in your shoes... not worrying about it but actually taking the broken one out, put it next to the new one compare the bell housings, if they are different, than swap your bell housing to the replacement box... it's just about 20 bolts that are tightened up with 25nm so easily undone by hand. just make sure you drain oil out of both before splitting them...

    also there is a magnet inside the housing just under the transfer box... if it seems loose don't worry about it it is held in place by a white clip... just split the lot, clean the mating surfaces, add some liquid sealer, close it up, and tighten than tighten the bolts of the bell housing in steps ... this will take about 0 minutes from start to finish if the bell housing is different.

    PS the best solution for you would be to upgrade though to the m40 gearbox but that entails new driveshafts if i read it right.

    This is on a astra and do you mean the f40 box? It font fit in them iirc.... Yeah nice one i am going to have to drop the box, im just waiting yo get a spot on the ramo for the day to gst it in and box off etc so thought I'd gather info and options together before hand.. The final drive is a concern as its 4.18 on the corsa box and 3.94 i think on my astra box.. Easy to change? Never done much internal work on gear boxes before, usually just replace em but im told i can fit a diesel final drive so i get a better mpg cruising on motor trips as its not great with its original box and the corsa box will make it rev its tits off i expect

    You seem to have been lucky, the title to the main section above this section says

    Nah he's just trying to send you to Birmingham the long way, instead of using the M1.
