if youve just got standard clocks then your car wont have a transducer, it will have a cable. the transducer is an electronic part that fits on your gearbox

injection models have a transducer to tell the ecu the road speed, but i think that you need the correct transducer for teh digital dash

you need a transducer from either an 8v astra gte or a 16v whichever the dash came from, you will also need the loom aswell, so i would let it go and wait for one to come up with all the bits included with it, the astra transducer will screw into the top of ur 1.2spi transducer where the speedo cable goes now, all will come clear when you get one, hope this helps

The wiring that comes out the back of the clocks, sounds like you've got everything you need already.
