Tormod65 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi, Can anyone tell me if the rear gearbox mounting on the manta 5 speed Getrag is available to buy new and if not, where could I source one 2nd hand. Also, do any other vauxhall/opels use the same mount. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Job Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi, Can anyone tell me if the rear gearbox mounting on the manta 5 speed Getrag is available to buy new and if not, where could I source one 2nd hand. Also, do any other vauxhall/opels use the same mount. Thanks. I'm not sure if they're still available but they used to be a helluva price, about £70 was the last quote I got. Just a thought, but as this is basically the same 'box as in an old BMW 3-series, is it the same mount, or was it a different mount for the Beemer's crossmember? Not that BMW specialises in cheap spares ... BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 you could adapt one like this http://www.vxopel.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4430 or german ebay,took me ages to find one there and was not cheap.. search for getriebe thats the only german i know http://s75550052.einsundeinsshop.de/sess/u...ndex.shopscript not cheap from dr manta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i240 Dan Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Got mine from Opel Classic Parts a while back. Go to their site, http://www.opel-classicparts.com/eng/index.html, and search on the following part numbers. GM number: 9290083 Opel number: 682514 30,02 € each Think there was only type of gearbox mount on the Manta B so that should be it. Someone else on here might put me right on that though. Dr Manta seems to have this offset one and a square one . Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 If they are the same on all B's then I've got one still attached to a four speed box which I can flog. The crossmember/mounting bracket looks the same as a five speed, but the mount itself I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjz400 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Dan I think your find that the mounts for an "A" and not the "B". The B mount is 9290084. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod65 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks to you all for the replies. Yep, new mounts are a bit on the expensive side so I might go with the suggestion of making up a mounting myself or I might be lucky and find one here on the Isle of Lewis. Thanks again guys!

i240 Dan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'll have to dig out my box of bits that I ordered from OCP and check which one I've got then. Is the Manta B 5 speed gearbox mounting offset similar to the A series one I pictured in my post? From memory the one I bought from OCP is offset and not square on and the replacement one fashioned by mantachris on the vxopel site appears offset to the cross member as well?

pat Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 pretty sure the 5 speed one is the square one not the offset one, no wait , yep positive ,yup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 So you're not interested in mine then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod65 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 So you're not interested in mine then? Hi Rick, don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm not interested but it would be easier to get one locally if possible. If I can't find one I will probably get back to you if that's OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevettehsr Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 the four speed mount is different to the five speed the bolts r closer together on a 4 speed Hi Rick, don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm not interested but it would be easier to get one locally if possible. If I can't find one I will probably get back to you if that's OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 i am sure the square one is 5 speed box and would assume the offset one to be 4 speed box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
