Hi All,
Desperately looking for a Opel Manta 1.8 or 2.0 Manual 5 speed gearbox. Needs to be close to or in cambridgeshire and I really need it before the weekend so the manta has a chance of making retro show!
If anybody can help please let me know on 07540765075

If anybody can help please let me know on 07540765075 aren't they two different box's, I mean two different boxes to fit different engines, or have you two different engines to fit it to? just wondered like  I do think that its unlikely that you find one in the local area or as quick as you want it, manta boxes are getting scarce! |

I read somewhere that the 1.8 manta box would fit the 2.0 with a bellhousing change. Is the actual box different?

Is the actual box different? well I was told that the internals fit as does the release bearing and lever maybe even the full rear section, but the bell housing is part of the gearbox casing, being split in the middle of the box, so you would need the front half of the 1.8 gearbox at least, its not as easily as a ford box maybe the later 2.0 litre box fits(didn't they fit the mk1 cavalier engine in the late ones) I just wondered if you knew, maybe you need to be certain before parting with money, that you get one that can work |

the two bellhousings are different but the internals are pretty much identical
1800 boxes are now going for good money,thanks to the Xe fitting
20 Gte boxes are still cheap enough to be able to get a couple and pull to pieces
someone was selling a couple of 1800 boxes on this here site!

So your saying that if you have a broken 1800 box, then you can use a good 2000 box to fix it, but without having the 1800 box, its not going to work! got it! the two that were for sale are now sold, to me  |
