    Default f17 gearbox HELP NEEDED ASAP

    I have a Vectra 1.8vvt being broken,and my son has an Astra H 1.8 with the same engine.
    We need a gearbox for the Astra,which is an F17 C394 ratio box.
    The vectra is an F17 W419 ratio box.
    Will the Vectra box fit the Astra?
    Is it easy to change gear selector?
    Any help great as needed this sorted asap before i try and source a box

    Check the gear linkages and where the startermotor is located on both cars... the startermotor is what dictates the shape of the bellhousing... thing is the bellhousings can be swapped over but you'll need to drain both gearboxes of any oil first.

    Also gear ratios might be different but shouldn't be a big problem.

    Ps if the gear linkages are different he'll need the gearshift (gearstick) tower and gear linkages also

    The astra one has no oil has there a hole in the casing lol,so half the job done lol
    Wil check the starters.

    I know the gear ratio is different as Astra is close ratio 394 and Vectra is wide ratio 419,and he had the vectra before the astra till it got wrote off so he used to it.

    Can I just change over the gear selector on the gearbox from the Vectra one to the Astra one instead of changing all the gearstick etc.

    I'm not sure about that as the f17 has been I use for quite some time and they did change some stuff later on... so it is a compare job put them side by side or let him take a few pics of the gearbox on his car than you can compare the lot.

    I have fit f17 from Corsa on my Vectra c the other year and works perfectly. Just change the gear selector.
    Just check if mountings are placed in the same place

    Is the gear selector hard to change?
