prm,

To be perfectly honest with you, I've no idea. Looking at the Vauxhall website, it does say

"Five-speed automatic transmission with Active Select function 2.2i 16v Direct/3.2i V6 24v/3.0CDTi V6 24v)"

and

"Six-speed automatic transmission with Active Select function (1.9CDTi 16v [150PS])"

No mention of those auto gearboxes being fitted to the 1.8 engines.

The above gearboxes are still made by Aisan-Warner, and previously Aprilia has given these excellent reports.

I've found the gearbox to be more flexible and smoother than the one fitted in the previous Vectra, although I do miss the sport button.
