hey hey, i know im proberly being thick here... but am i right in thinking the gearbox in my GSI would be an F13??? I need to get a new one and im not exacly sure if thats right, and cant be botherd to look lol.
Also, ive herd of people putting 1.2 gearboxes in there GSI, GTE etc etc.. What gear box would give me the best performance with the least fuss getting it in??
Any ideas welcome! Thanx :thumb:
Probably be a F13 yeah.
You'll need to replace it with another F13/F15. As a 1.2's f10 wont fit.
F13CR/F15CR is best for acceleration, but leaves the engine at high revs on the motorway. About 3600rpm,70mph is in 5th on my box.
thanx m8, Thats all i needed to know. CR it is then! I don't ever use the motorway any way if i can help it.
Why wouldn't the F10 fit? The 1.2 comes with an F10 and can be replaced for an F13, so surely it would work the other way round.
Flywheel & clutch dia is bigger on the 1600. The larger bellhousing isnt an issue if putting it on a 1.2 etc
Ah right. Didn't realise the fly wheel was bigger on the 1.6 engines, always wondered why the bell housing was bigger on the F13.
i have a f13 cr box if you fancy a road trip pm me if your intrested
As craig said, the f13 can fit a 1.2 as the housing is bigger, but the other way round the f10 dont clear the 1600 fly.Quote:

Thanx for the offer Phill but Newcastle is a little far after ive paid for the petty up there and back it will proberly work out dearer for me...
