This city car has seen two different automakers since its conception: the Opel brand (which became a subsidiary of General Motors in 1929) and the PSA Peugeot-Citroën group, which launched the sixth generation in 2019. Since its appearance in the early 1980s, the Opel Corsa has abandoned its square, angular lines in favor of a resolutely modern look.One of the major components in the smooth running of a vehicle is the gearbox: it is this that transmits the power supplied by the engine to the wheels. Considered one of the car's most robust parts, the gearbox is designed to last as long as the engine. However, sometimes the gearbox is damaged and malfunctions. EDEN BOITES can help you identify the signs.

What makes the Opel Corsa so special?
Like most city cars, the Opel Corsa has a front-wheel drive transmission. Some vehicles use a five- or six-speed manual gearbox, such as the opel corsa d 1.3 cdi start & stop gearbox. Others are equipped with an automatic gearbox with up to eight speeds, as on the latest model, theOpel Corsa 1.2 turbo 100 EAT8.
In over forty years of existence, the little city car has never ceased to evolve. TheOpel Corsa 1.3 CDTI EcoFlex, for example, was praised for its particularly economical diesel engine and smooth gearbox when it went on sale in 2006. As for gasoline engines, theOpel Corsa 1.2 Turbo 130 Ch GS Line, launched in 2019, stands out for its low carbon dioxide emissions.
Is it possible to replace a gearbox yourself?
Complete gearbox replacement is not always necessary. That's why it's important to have your vehicle inspected by a professional. Your mechanic will be able to review the components that make up your gearbox and diagnose the problem.
To keep the bill down, it's possible to replace a gearbox yourself if the current one breaks down. However, it's a tricky maneuver requiring the right tools and a sound knowledge of mechanics.
If you don't have the time or the skills, you can turn to your garage without buying a new gearbox. Identify your gearbox's manufacturer reference, usually engraved on it, and check our Opel Corsa gearbox catalog. You'll get a great price without compromising on quality: our products are tested and come with a one-year warranty.
If you can't find a gearbox compatible with your vehicle, EDEN BOITES has the solution: We'll refurbish yours. Contact us for your free, personalized quotation.
