1.9DTi Astra Mk5 Gearbox - part/model number?
« on: 17 April 2009, 11:54:49 »
Friend of mine has just had the gearbox let go on his 56 plate Astra and I am just looking to see whether it viable to do a DIY replacement. The car is out of warranty so not many options other than trousers down at Vx.

Does anyone know the 'box model number? (eg F17, F20 etc.)

Its the 150bhp 6 speed, but if they are both M32's that is what I needed to know! Thanks Mark!

Just spoken with Andy @ Drive and he let me in on how they change the 'box (subframe off job) so I think we will give it a miss and he will have to swallow it. Worth a look anyway!

(Thanks Andy  :y)

No doubt we could do it, but you also need to put new subframe bolts in all round and with the costs piling up it doesn't really seem worth it... my friend would rather pay. There is a 'box on eBay for £350 though...

The car is out of warranty? Why? It's less than three years old.

EDIT: Doh! more than 60000 :-[
