    Default speedo

    think the gearbox i bought is a electronic speedo (theres no sensor in it) i tried my mechnical one in and seemed a very tight fit and didnt go right in tight. the box is a f13cr form a corsa b sxi. (f13 c379)

    is there any way to convert is to run with my speedo or will a digi dash work with a electronic speedo dive?

    thanks

    its ran off a plastic disc iirc then the sensor reads as it goes around, you could wire your digi clocks to the plug that goes into the sensor but i dont think it will read true with that box/sensor!

    thanks think im going to build my old box with f10 gearing and put it back in.
    would a wide ratio f13 be ok with f10 gearing put in? and is there different f10 ratios?

    thanks

    the innards from the f13cr will fit into the f10 housing.. what diff is the f10? cos you'll need to get a puller to remove the diff gear off the output shaft & swap it if it is different
