Hi Mick!
Finished translating the damn article (I hate German!!), so here's the scoop:
The guy also wanted to keep his drive shafts, so he used an F13 box from an early Astra 1.6 diesel with the Nova 1.3 gearing in it, Nova GTE clutch disk, and 1.8 pressure plate, BUT he had to modify the gearbox casing (don't know exactly how)... On the other hand at work I had a look at a Clutch catalog (Quinton Hazell) and they show Astras and Cavs with F13 boxes on 1.6 Diesel & Petrol, 1.8 and even 2.0 engines!!! Now I really don't get it! Anyway, if I decide to go with the F16 box can I make driveshafts to fit (using the Astra ones) instead of buying modified ones?
Cheers!
