Why oh why was there never a V8 Omega????
Such a missed oppurtunity.
Look forward to the Cadillac ATS & ATS-V. Maybe a re-badged one will replace the Miggy as a RWD runner?

So far i can only find reference to a Getrag with this model number.

Are the gear linkages up top or to the side? If they are to the side of the box, they should be easier to get to as opposed to up top position????

It's a Getrag 240, made under licence by GM and called "R25".

fitted to BMW's too, but their linkage is different.

You'll learn pretty much everything there is to know about the linkage by looking at it from underneath, it's pretty simple.

Take a look underneath.
Pretty sure that you'll find 'R25' cast into one of the sides of the 'box.

OOPS, I was sure it was ZF, just Googled it & it appears BMW use ZF and Getrags. Different gear change linkages though.
