Hi i have an 1994 L Reg Corsa 1.2 8v Merit with a 4 speed box i was told it was an F10 box and that vauxhall also made a 5 speed version. I struggle with motorway driving as i have no 5th gear to bring the revs down to cruise in does anyone know if the 5 speed version would work with my engine and if it would be advantageous to do this conversion??

thanks alot

nah all u need is the box and the gear linkage including the gearstick assembly.

if you use an f13 box though u may need to change the clutch and flywheel cos the splines may be drifferent.

i just used an f10 5 speed so didnt need to change the clutch.
