Can't seem to find the answer... gearbox code on XC Barina SRI/ Corsa C with the Z18XE engine?

Thanks

Ahhh nice link. Love your work Guy.

So further to that does that mean the MTech short shift linkage does not work with the F17 gearbox? A little conflictingly it says ALL Corsa models except the 1.7 diesel but lists the F13 and F18 gearboxes. http://www.opel-tuning.nl/?View=page&part_id=170001&hid=542&lhid=&lvid=&mid=86&ItemID=170001&Number=1&t=2

I ask because i'm talking with the company in the UK that makes the metal gear linkage rods as to whether they could make a reasonably priced short shift linkage.

think they are a bit mixed up on their site.
astra one lists the f17 which is the same box thats on yours.

I've got one of the mtech ones to be fitted to my car. its pretty well made but not a cheap item for such a basic thing when you look at it.

That's why i'm talking with this engineering company :D They say they can make them up, just sending some details etc and waiting on expected pricing because as you say, the MTech one is overpriced for what it is.

Just noticed as well when you check the Astra one from MTech it comes with a new bolt and nylon bushes yet the Corsa one doesn't for some reason but same price... presumably if you were buying that one you'd order the Astra one instead to get the new bushes as well.
