Well...on the chevrolet forum there's a guy with a cruze with a duff auto box. Can't get one, of course. But I was thinking as it's the same platform as the astra J and I know the engine block is the same, could an astra J box be fettled to fit...or even straight in?

Assuming they're also available... ::) don't see why not though...

Could always retrofit a manual box as a timely fix... ;)

You must be 'a little ray of sunshine' for all the inadequate people who  frequent the Daewoo forum.

They may make you club president soon.

That won't happen here at OOF. ;D
