Not many F8B Altos came out 5 speed, in fact all 800cc models in New Zealand were 4 speed. I'm not sure if anything was available in Australia or even ex Japan as they're getting old. There are Alto clones made in India as Mauritis(?) and also Daewoo Ticos that were based on the Altos followed by the Daewoo Matiz which had a F8C injected engine 5 speed. Problems with the gearboxes from these later cars is that they may not bolt straight up to the Alto engine, they are cable gear change and have different size shafts on the CV axles. As the top gear on the Alto 4 speed is already an overdrive (0.9 to 1), I just compensated by fitting larger tyres (155/80x12s instead of 145/70x12s) to my CB91/SB308 Alto that I'm converting from automatic, I've dismantled several cars for donor parts and I've got plently of spares, Matthew :o).
Yes, a 6-speed gearbox can potentially be fitted to a 4-speed Citroën C5, but it would require significant modifications. This includes ensuring compatibility with the engine, transmission mounts, and the vehicle's electronics. It's advisable to consult with a professional mechanic or automotive specialist for feasibility, as it may also affect performance and warranty.
In the gearbox
In a gearbox fitted to a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the three shafts are the input shaft, output shaft, and countershaft. The input shaft transmits power from the engine to the gearbox, enabling the transfer of engine torque. The countershaft, which is connected to the gears, facilitates the gear changes and allows for varying torque and speed outputs. Finally, the output shaft delivers the power from the gearbox to the rear wheels, driving the vehicle forward.
No, that is why there is a gearbox
The cubic capacity of an engine and the speed of the vehicle are different things. A boat fitted with an engine would not attain the same speed as a motorcycle fitted with a similar engine.
In a 1998 Vauxhall Vectra diesel, the speedometer is typically fitted to the gearbox via a speed sensor located on the transmission. This sensor measures the rotational speed of the output shaft and sends signals to the vehicle's instrument cluster to display the speed. You can usually find it on the side of the gearbox, near the differential area. If you're looking to replace or inspect it, ensure you check the specific model and gearbox type, as there may be slight variations.

I am fairly sure that the Astra G (Mk 4) models withoutABS have the speed sensor in the gearbox, and the ABS models take the road speed from the left-hand front wheel hub. Unfortunately, the gearboxes fitted to ABS models have the speed sensor hole plugged, so this is something to consider if replacing the gearbox.
To hold the geartrain and the gearbox oil and provide a disconnection between the engine and the rest of the transmission components. To allow the engine to run at optimal speed through varying load and road conditions.
The correct name for a gearbox is a transmission. It is a mechanical component that transfers power from the engine to the wheels by adjusting the speed and torque based on driving conditions.
na, the 1275 engine came out with the 4 speed gearbox, most people having the 4 synchro version, most racers change it to straight cut drop gears for strength tho. for a 5 speed gearbox in Australia your looking around $12,000
The gearbox will physically fit, you need to change the clutch to a push type clutch however. If we are talking 5 speed gearboxes.
