Opel Ascona B, 1976
I bought the car 6 months ago and I start to like it very much. I have some problemm with its engine, but it is now ok .... but I would like to know more about it, so I want to begin learn something about mechanics. For that I'll need a manual that I don't have. Can someone help me?
Thank you very much. PS This is my fist time I post so if I've posted in the wrong thread please forgive me. |

Hello there, Help please
Hi guys,
I am new here, and a little bit puzzeled ![]() First of all, Thanks God i found a forum like this. I have Opel Ascona b 2.0 1978, engine from Rekord with vertical double-throat carb. I am a student and don't have incomes, just my tip. I don't want to go to the mechanics, i like to learn about my car everything. I have seen the book for Opel manual, but it is on dutch and i won't understand a word. If someone can help me and send me a Manual on English, Serbian, German, even on Dutch if there is no way Thanks a lot, Filip PS: here is my email tfilip_69@hotmail.com Last edited by Filip Trpeski; 01-21-2008 at 12:50 PM..

I'm thinking you mean to put in a "short throw shifter", to have less travel of the shifter knob from front to rear. Searching in the forum for "short throw" brought up this one. I don't know whether your Ascona B has the same type 4-speed like our normally older Opels here in the USA, but I think that you can use this thread to find out what you have to do. Dieter |

Get the Haynes manual that fellow members posted above, it is not very expensive, and within months it will save you more than you will spend to buy it! I have it, and it is very good. Also covers the later 2.0E EFI engines , should you consider a swap in the future...
If your car has the original 4-speed gearbox, then the modification our friends "linked" you to will be doable. Keep in mind though that the hand effort during gear changes will be increased! |
