thats good to know does the m32 make much of a difference then?
also the starter must be on the right side then compaired to the z20let whihc is different

I love the M32 on the VXR. So much nicer than the F40 on the Vectra.

it can if you raise the rev limit or use a lower final drive ratio, ideally you want to do both - like me 😃

you need a z22yh M32 which has the starter motor in the correct position :thumbup:

vocky

just in case anyone wants to know (google searches etc), yes you can swap the M32 internals between models 😃

I have so far had in my M32 z22yh gearbox housing - vectra M32 3.65 internals, astra M32 3.94 internals and now corsa M32 4.17 internals :thumbup:

sdbutler10

what come has the z22yh m32 in it then so i can look out for. would the vxr shafts fit in that box as they fit my hubs.

vocky

the facelift vectra C 2.2 direct, facelift signum 2.2 direct and the zafira B z22yh had the M32 6 speed box

the astra vxr driveshafts don't fit the astra G hubs, you need the cdti 120 or the astra lel/ler turbo driveshafts

sdbutler10

ok thanks again. i hear different things all the time lol.

vocky

astra vxr and astra cdti 150 use bigger hubs than the other astra H models, so have different splines on the outer cv's

the astra H z20lel, z20ler and cdti 120 models use the same sized hubs/cv splines as the astra G and vx220

if anyone says otherwise they are wrong :thumbup:

sdbutler10

your a legend neil. i think i mite add this to my list when i change my engine internals. if you see a box pop up could you please let me know. 😃

vocky

I've only ever seen three z22yh M32's for sale, first one I bought, second one - notsure.gif and the third a member on here bought :thumbup:

sdbutler10

lol ok then well keep an eye an ear out for me please 😃

vocky

this M32 is advertised as an astra 2.2 box, they never made an astra 2.2 and it has a vectra gearbox mount fitted, so could well be a vectra / signum z22yh box :thumbup:

certainly worth asking them where the starter motor goes, it should be on the lefthand side of the ebay pic dunno..

thanks neil how do you find these things lol. i will give him a call tomorrow and if be well i might have 6 gears as the 2.2 deff needs it 😃 where does it say m32 on the box so i can ask him as well

vocky

it's 100% a M32 gearbox :thumbup:

I'm 99% sure it's a z22yh M32 gearbox too, but please check before buying dunno..

sdbutler10

ok i will call him tomorrow 😃

sdbutler10

which driveshaft would i need off here for the m32 then?

vocky

you need to confirm that this astra H passenger side shaft is from a 120 cdti engine (or sometimes called the 8v cdti engine)
<u>the 150cdti driveshafts or 16v cdti are no good</u>

if it is then ask for the other driveshaft too :thumbup:

also there is a TTV Racing group buy going on at the moment on vx220.org, so you could get a z22se M32 flywheel cheaper :clap:

vocky
