Corsa c have a linkage as do Corsa d. Not cable.

Probably best looking at some kind of Astra j gearbox unless you can convert something else to use cables.

Not strictly true.

All Corsa Cs have a rod linkage

All 5 speed Corsa Ds have a rod linkage

6 speed Corsa Ds have a cable linkage

Why? The 1.6 is easier to tune and the track is only a bit wider

6 speed Corsa Ds have a cable linkage

The only Corsa C with cable linkage is the 1.7 CDTI because they have F23

F23 is big block, I would worry about what clutch/flywheel to use before ratios lol

I had a look and yes i was wrong.
Corsa C's are rod shift

If i was doing it i would be looking at the 6 speed corsa D box, would work well with your engine. Think there classed as a M20 Box.

cable shifter + custom linkage... job done.

Should be easy to make somethink that will bolt up to the box and actuate the rod via cables.

What about penumatics? That would be pretty easy and cool as fuck!

The actual penumatics bit would be easy, but would need a pcb to run it. Could have flappy paddles then

Or just fit a D box.

You're building a mid engined car but taking a gearbox apart is too hard?!
