Because it was in the way of moving house, it leaked gearbox oil all over the back of his 307 and he got fed up with it | |

I'd get a solicator to write a letter, wait a week then phone them up saying you are taking legal action. | |

duno if i would prefer the 4 speed, as its faster, what down sides are there to the 4 speed prolly use more petrol cruising along at higher revs. uhm and i keep going for 5th and it aint here! but i duno, maybe keep it | |

ok, you had an F10 gearbox originally, not F13. Many corsas that first rolled out in 1994 were fitted with F10 4 speeds lifted straight from the Nova. The F10 5 speed was fitted to all 1.2 8v's that werent the Merit model. The F10 5 speed is identical to the 4 speed in ratios apart from the new 5th gear. It is an overdrive gear and maximum speed is attained in 4th rather than 5th because the 1.2 8v is unable to pull the car any faster in 5th gear. Dont worry about blowing up, the 1.2 is solid as a rock. only 4 speed box for corsas was the F10. | |

ok driving about tonight, it actually feels ok, doesnt sem like its struggling at 70 in 4th as it did with 5 speed, and feels a little faster aswell, but the guy said that gearbox is deff F13, and has that marked on it, so im guessing theres no way its 4 speed and its not aligned right? | |

They must be stupid. They should have checked it was 5 speed first and got the right one from the scrappies. | |

My 1.2 8v is a 4 speed, though I would get my soliciter to write them a kind letter telling them that it would be of best interest to fit the correct gearbox to the car if they are going to be cocks. | |
