For a start i don't think you should be using an f20 gearbox on a 3.0 v6 lump anyway unless that flywheel makes it acceptable Would have thought an f28 gearbox which is 6 speed,which may explain the problem? Not to do with the number of gears,but just the wrong box. Not a mechanic or clued up on v6 conversions but that is my guess?

Im doing a 2.5 v6 into my other corsa and I am using a flat lightened flywheel off a 2.0 so I dont think the pot type one is right as it may be too thick. I havent actually got the gearbox fitted to the engine yet so I am not 100% sure. The F20 box is definately ok for that engine just the ratios are a little bit short I think

f20s are used on them all the time, probably better to invest in an f28 though.

We have a mk2 astra V6 with a F16 box, gets driven in anger all the time and the box is fine!

I take it the engine is in the car and the clutch pedal is solid?
Because it isn't exactly easy to move the clutch lever by hand.
