    Advice needed - Vectra C 2.2 Direct - Gearbox - replace, repair or get rid!

    Thanks for that, it is the 6 speed, so would have to be the one with the l850 bolt pattern. also I'm guessing I would need to replace the clutch (and bits) too. How much do you think I would be looking at?

    This sounds very much like the chain and tensioners. This happened on my 2.2 SRI Direct. Its likely to be the guides worn and probably cracked, get this looked at now, Daz sorted mine out. Check out this thread https://z22se.co.uk/threads/vectra-2-2-random-ticking-on-startup.21086/ Tony
