My M32 chocolate Gearbox died in my 2007 Vectra cdti Sri last sat...
Wednesday me and Fraser did a quick road trip to collect a full F40 conversion, £150...
Thursday after work the strip down and conversion begun...

During the week I collected parts...







Box oil, new flywheel bolts, crank oil seal ( easy change while its out)



Genuine GM parts ordered from Neo brothers
Dmf, clutch, csc...
£299 delivered rather than £1000 from Vauxhall!!!



Big job on the floor tbh, subframe off and everything!!!







Friday night around 23:00 it was running again...
I know there's a lot of hate for newer Vauxhalls on here... But as a daily there great value for money...
It's got the more reliable 8v cdti lump in, and now converted to the bomb proof F40...



Not bad going for 2 half days work...
Saved myself a fortune
To rebuild the M32 was between £400-£700
Clutch kit £330
Oil, bolts, crank seal £75
Total £805-£1105

2nd hand F40 box, shafts, mounts, cables, selector £150
Clutch kit £299
Oil, bolts, crank seal £75

Total £525

Pig of a job on floor but it's done, 2 weeks previous to the box dying I had to fit a replacement turbo...

Should be ok now... It's on 130k now so should be good for that again now.
