Hi guys,

The clutch from a vectra B 1.8, would it fit on the gearbox of a 1.4/1.6 corsa sport gearbox?

Cheers

Also, would it need to be just the clutch or isit advised to get a clutch "kit" in which case what would be included?

The 1.4/1.6 gearbox is F17?

Ah yea i'll be using the corsa's gearbox, but when it comes to buying the uprated clutch for it, is it literally just "the Clutch" or are there like "clutch kits" of sorts?
