Well as things stand, my novas got a 20ne with what ive been told is an f20 gearbox fitted (i will check asap). Well my thrust bearing is currently rattling away on and off so its obviously going to need replacing in the near future. I was thinking this would be a good chance to fit an f16 close ratio box but theres a few things id like to find out first. First of all, what sort of revs will it be doing at say 70/80mph as i dont want her to be revving too high on motorway trips! and what sort of gain will i see in acceleration? is it enough to warrant changing the box when this ones in fine working order? or am i better off sticking with the believed f20? also can you use the 1.7td isuzu box? like so http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-ASTRA-MK3-1-7TD-IZUZU-F16-GEARBOX-/280675568793?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4159914c99
if not, what models did the f16 come in?
thanks for reading!
