The 4 speed is a F10 I think.

There a 2 different types of F16. One is a wide ration and one is a close ratio. The Astra/Cavalier SRi,SXi came with the close ratio box and the CDi Cavalier/Astra came with the wide ratio.

The wide ratio is not much good for the 16v engine. The close ratio F16 is a good match for the XE engine but isn`t suppost to be as strong as the F20..........
