    i have been told by vectra stealers that they upgraded the vectras but put a astra 1.6 gear box in them so too much tork from engine its also because they are driven through a diff straight onto drive shafts

    Try using the clutch when you change gear, just a thought but it might help.

    Seriously guys you don't seem to be having much luck, personally I would get rid of them.

    How long have you had the car. Seems maybe you could claim refund as it is not fit for purpose.
