Engine Change! Gear Box??

Post by Zoran »

I am looking to do a engine change in my corsa b (Head gasket has gone on my 1.2)

If i put a 1.6 tigra lump in, would i really need to change gearbox?? or could i still run the same gear box with the lower ratio's??

Thanks

youd be better off changin it mate, they might not fit. i know some of them can fit but itl just shread the gearbox cause the extra power, you can get one from scrappies for about 20 pound
