What have they done to the gearbox though Del so it does not have more than the maximum rate 320Nm?

Naff all, it's got a very very slight whine actually  :-\ The last one needed a new gearbox too.

No surprise realy, the standard engine maxes out the 320Nm and adding any form of tuning tips them way over.

That's it, bad idea really, is it right they couldn't fit the F40 gearbox in?

Yup, F40 is a little tight!

The Vec and Signum got the F40 as standard and the new Astra with the 2.0 CDti alos has the F40.

The compromise would be to restrict power in 1st, 2nd and 3rd (where its not needed as much)

I try to limit the amount of power as much as possible in 1st & 2nd.
