f23 to f40 swap (in astra)

Blue_2_2

Is it a straight swap?
do the linkeages need to be changed/adjusted?

I think vocky did this in his vx220 - which uses the same box afaik. It looked pretty tricky - new drive shafts and mounts, and some messing about with the linkages too. The thread will be on here somewhere.

I fitted the M32 6 speed box, but the F40 will be similar to install.

you need to find out if the F23 driveshaft CV splines fit the F40 gearbox, also if the clutch disc splines are the same

otherwise it's just a case of adjusting the linkage to fit the new selector, the vx220 F23 cables fitted the M32 box with some minor adjustements, you could use the M32 gear linkage from any astra H 6 speed car
