I took a 1.6 EasyTronic Astra H out for a spin.. When shifting it backs right out off the throttle which makes it really sloppy.. | |

If its down to the ECU creating a basic controller that allows you to select a given gear by giving the right signals to the actuators shouldnt be too hard as it looks like quite a basic setup. | |

OMG Ricardo specialise in motorsport drivetrain, this gearbox is going to be fucking good, unless vauxhall water it down a bit for cost cutting, which will probably happen....interesting stuff indeed, I really hope they make it. | |

Good, the vauxhall easytronic boxes are terrible, such a horrible gear change | |

Obviously the Easytronic would need some jiggery pokery to move the clutch actuator as its in the way of the mounting points for the corsa B.. But the later Ricardo box would go straight in a B :| | |

After the previous post about sequential boxes and the little discussion about easytronic It got me thinking about using easytronic on my 1.8 and I started having a little look around. I found a decent high res image of the easytronic box, as you can see its a standard F10/F13/F15/F17 casing with an electronically controlled solenoid selector mechanism and a hydro-electric (if thats the right term) slave sylinder actuator: quote: http://www.ricardo.com/media/pressreleases/pressrelease.aspx?page=121 Interesting stuff! |
