6 speed gearbox options

figo126

thinking off going to 6 speed gearbox , ive found a Vectra 6 speed f40 gearbox with the starter at the front (didn't think they did f40 front starter ) also the Vectra vxr uses the same box , I know its going to be heavier any ideas what linkage to use cheers?????????????

m32
f40 from a z20net fits but you will need a z22se to f40 dualmass conversion then cut the chassis rail or box to get it to fit in the bay

I take it the m32 is a bit smaller then ???

not as high or as heavy
and fits the mk5 astra most the parts on a mk5 subframe will fit the mk4 subframe

driveshafts would be the biggest hurdle, best to stick with the M32 and cdti 120 drive shafts

I'm using Vectra c z22yh shafts (m32) with Astra g outer cv joints

This seems a good place to ask rather than starting a new thread.

Ok so I have a 22se Zafira and I am really interested in a 6sp (mainly because I have got used to a 6sp with my last 2 cars) so I am toying with the idea of obtaining a running Net powered car with the future idea of converting my 22se to turbo and was wondering if I could just use the 6sp from that. I imagine the conversion would be the same as a mk4 Astra since they are basically the same engine.

If I decide to go for an M32 what selector linkage would I use and what model does the box I need come from??? And which shafts will I Need???
