Title: 5 speed auto box ?????
Post by: robbo299 on 08 December 2011, 21:52:38
Just been browsing through E-Bay looking at Omega stuff and i have just seen an ad for a `03 reg 2.6 auto Omega saloon with stated,  " The automatic gearbox is fitted with the innovative and highly fuel efficient Vauxhall Eco 5th gear." Bargain price at the moment and a very nice motor, but still 3 days to go. I always assumed that the auto boxes fitted to our omega`s were 4 speed. I suppose someone more knowlegeable will enlighten me.

As far as I'm aware, it was just the Opel 2.5 DTi (?) diesel that Vauxhall/UK didn't get that had a 5 speed auto. The 2.6 has a 4 speed with lock up like all other autos.  ;)

Just checked ad again and it definately states it as being a 2.6 petrol. Strange  :-\ Item number 110788478647 if you want to see for yourself  :y

Probably confusing the lock-up for another gear. ???

Easily done if you don't know I suppose, it does sound like another gear change.

Indeed, only the common rail Y25DT engined Opel Omega 2.5DTi got the 5 speed, all others are the standard AR25/35 that we know and love.

At least one person has put this box on the V6, but there are no V6 maps for it, so it will never be ideal.

Didn't a lad from Holland who was showing off his car on here say you could get one on a 3.2 out there as a special order  :-\ :-\
Iirc, it was the bloke who had the electric folding mirrors  :-\ :-\
