On the 1.2 gearbox? that would be the 1.2 S engine that is the only engine power the box can take and not only the box but also the rear end

THe Kadett 'B' OHV gearbox was designed for a 1.0 litre motor and does good service with motors up to 1.2L - but it is very tiny and is not suitable for larger motors ... and neither is the small diff!

Maybe OK for a 1.2L bored out 2mm oversized but that is about as far as you dare go.

But, with what kind of driving habits, and for how long?

I'm sure he used the larger rear end from the Kadett/GT 1.9 liter, because he needed the larger gear box also. Was the original Kadett B he used an automatic?
