M32 6 speed Cruze manual transmission fits!!

Postby Nemasys » Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:30 am

Yes you heard correctly, the 6 speed manual transmission that comes in the new Chevy Cruze fits the engines we have, basically all the engines from Opel/Vauxhall family.

The bell housing bolt holes align with ours, so any1 looking into a performance 6 speed transmission, there should be a ton available in a year or two at junkyards!

I'm quite exited myself because i was worried to blow the d20 in mine if i upped the boost too much, but with the M32 (this is the code for the 6 speed in the Cruze) it seems to be as strong if not stronger then the F28. It's also a cable shift system instead of a mechanical linkage, much better!

Forged internals in my 2.0 @ 18-20 psi anyone? 300+ whp Aveo HAHA!

Here is the post found on daewootech made by Chris (PrecisionBoost)

"I was trying to find out more on the Chevrolet Cruze ( which is now available here in my country Canada ) and I found out that the standard 6spd gearbox is the M32!!

Now you might say "so what" but the key here is that I already imported an M32 from an Astra VXR and can confirm that it will fit all Daewoo applications

So anyone looking for a stronger gearbox can upgrated to the new M32 gearbox, quaife makes an LSD and it's cable shift instead of the old troublesome mechanical linkage."


More info:

"Here is the article showing the M32 (from the back side) and the front side of the 6 spd automatic showing the mounting pattern that is the same as our Getrag D16/D20/F16/F20/F28

cruze parts are already popping up in the lkq.. not many but they are there.


And i kind of already but i checked the other end, the 1.4t bolts up to our transmission

I'm kind of hoping to find both, BUT so far for the cost, and work (aside from being hopeful it is truly plug and play) it seems more economical to go with an ss swap. But i'm wanted the lnf. which is about the same as the 1.4t..

260hp > 140 hp..

Different gear ratios then ours, they actually offer 2 versions of the gearbox with very different gear ratios, 1 version for the 1.6L and the other for the 1.4 turbo.

So do you know the break down on the two trans one for the 1.6L & 1.4 turbo.
That would very helpful at picking one to work best for one set up.
I would like to find one close to 08 std gear set up.
