2001 Astra Z22se F23 to M32?

3wheelastra

Good evening gents,
I'm currently running a 2001 Astra SRI Z22se. I'm noticing that at 70mph the car feels like it needs to have a 6th Gear. I've heard that the M32 Gearbox (6 speed i understand?) will fit into my car without any problems, has anyone heard of this being done? If so could you also tell me if my current ratios (1st to 5th)are different to those in the M32? if not, are they any better?

Thanks in advance from the new boy

if you have a search vocky fitted one and it doesnt just go straight in

it's a great mod, just not cheap or easy

have a read of my conversion thread.....

seeing as you will be converting an astra G you could simply use the astra H gear linkage, you would require the astra H sri turbo driveshafts (the vxr drive shafts require vxr hubs and your abs would not work with those hubs), you would also need the astra H gearbox mounts

what about clutch and that on the astra vocky could you use the same one or would having to change that and the release bearing??

to make life easier I would say use the dual mass flywheel and clutch, it makes it a 'nut and bolt' job rather than an engineering task
