Nubaroo gearbox upgrade

[Nubaroo]

OK so I am chucking the F18 gearbox and fitting another box - it is from a Opel Coupe Turbo - an F23 5speed cable shift box.

I was considering the F28 box, but those are few and far between and spares are becoming an issue for these. Apparently the F23 box is just as strong as the F28, some guys have stripped them and found the internal gears to be just as robust and strong as the F28??

Also one of the tuners here in SA has been running the f23 gearbox in his Opel Corsa UTE making 430KW on the wheels without any problems for the last year or so.

Also I think the cable shift box will be more precise on the gearshifts??

Only down side is that the F28 LSDiff wont fit in the F23 - I will have to fork out the money for an Quiaffe diff. But this can wait a while - as long as the f23 is strong enought to handle my power all should be well??

Any advice anybody??

Regards

Hannes

Ya I would say you got your money's worth on that F18 for your power level. The F23 certainly looks beefier and stronger, keep us updated on how it goes!

Hi Bud.

The one thing I like most about the gearbox is the big GETRAG logo on it

It's a getrag, just like F28, and they are very similar looking from outside..
