Hi all,

Bought a Corsa GSi at the weekend and the gearbox is awful,
Going from 4th to 5th and it just go's into 3rd. And most of the time it wont go into 1st,
So wanted to know if a Tigra gearbox would fit?

Also wanted to know if a Tigra/Corsa Sport standard airbox will fit on a C16XE engine?

Thanks

Leon

Tigra box will fit yeah, there exactly the same. Just sounds like the gear linkage needs setup to me though.

Airbox will fit too from any Tigra/Corsa B.

Right thanks for the help, gearbox fixed, new crank sensor fitted, sorted breaks and i thought that was everything except the steering rack.........

But now there's a leak coming from behind the dash on the passenger side which i thought would be the washer bottle cracked but it isnt and there's loads of water in the footwell now! Any ideas?

Also while im finding out what fots off a Tigra, will the steering rack from a 1.6 Tigra be the same as a Corsa GSi/Sport?
