    been doing some research to add a little more punch to my 136 CDTi and timing chain weaknesses aside, the M32 gearbox would be the next bottleneck to overcome. The M32 has a torque rating of 320nm, the CDTi 136 has max torque output 320nm. when researching if the more robust F40 gearbox...

    Hey guys, A few days back when i started the car and began to drive, i heard a sound and couldn't move in any gear. When put into any gear there's a sound of grinding. After a few hours the problem seem to have fixed itself, but its here again. The whole clutch assembly has been replaced about a...

    I have a 2011 Astra J 1.6 Auto. Earlier this year the automatic transmission went and I had to have a full gearbox rebuild/refurbishment at significant cost. Since this work the gearbox has worked fine per-se, however, although it doesn’t affect the ability to drive the car there is one...

    Hello, I own an Astra H 1.9 CDTI 8v. I changed the gearbox oil 8 months ago when I bought the car because I heard these M32s aren't very reliable. Today when I was coming to a stop in 2nd gear going around 15 kph (10 mph), I pressed the clutch and started braking a little bit to slow down then...
  5. Astra - VXR Chat
    Hello, I'm having an issue purely with second gear on my Astra H VXR. When I'm in 2nd gear and get to around 4k revs it pops back into neutral. I have no issues with any other gears. No movement, no noises or grinding just this random new issue when in second. Any ideas what this could be? Thank...

    Hello, I just bought a second-hand Astra 58 plate, it's a 1.6 turbo SRi with the exterior pack with 63k miles on the clock; i'm the second driving owner. I have noticed that more so in gear 3 onwards, there is a whine whilst driving - similar to a supercharger noise, just without the gains...

    Wanted to ask if anyone has a similar problem or if this is completely normal but I’ve recently bought a 2011 Astra H SRI and I’ve noticed that the gearstick seems to be off centre. You can specifically notice when it’s in 3rd gear as it’s not straight up centrally and is more over to the right...

    Hey all, Unfortunately the m32 gearbox on my Astra 1.9cdti 150 has gone and I’m looking for a new one. Someone near me has a gearbox off a Vectra 1.9cdti 120bhp model and is telling me that this gearbox will also fit my 150bhp model. Is this correct? I’ve heard from some people it’s a direct...

    Hi, guys. I want to upgrade my Astra so I can get around 200+ bhp. I decide to change the gearbox, clutch and the turbo. I know the basic thing about the whole work for changing those parts, but I miss the technical specs about them. I am not sure that the 6 gear gearbox and clutch from 1.7 or...

    Hi all, 2nd gear seems like it is getting stuck as it revs higher than normal before changing to third. It's very noticeable on a normal speed pull-off and even louder on a fast pull-off - it really screams. All other gear changes change as exepcted. Any ideas what the issue could be? Not taken...

    Hi guys, Have owned my Astra J 1.7CDTI since Aug 2014 and this year I decided that I'm not planning to re sell it and hence to start servicing it myself. So far, I've done my oil, and filters (fuel, air and oil) change, changed my glow plugs, and changed my camshaft sensor, using youtube and...

    I've just bought an Astra H 1.9cdti 150, upgraded from the 1.7, love the car, although after 200 miles of driving I can now hear a strange noise which I'm sure you all know about. In 3rd and 4th gear only the car sounds like it's in reverse, it's not a loud noise but noticeable. Also when the...

The car started playing up recently and will loose power once it hits 4th gear and only regains the power once the car is restarted. I've had the car seen by a mechanic and...
