Reconditioned Opel Zafira 1.8 Gearbox – 5-Speed Manual – Ref. GM-U4

Reconditioned Opel Zafira 1.8 Petrol Gearbox – Reference GM-U4

This reconditioned gearbox for the Opel Zafira 1.8 Petrol is compatible with engine codes Z18XE, Z18XER and X18XE1, with an engine capacity of 1796 cm³, and carries the reference GM-U4. It is the 5-speed manual gearbox fitted as standard to this MPV, which sees heavy daily use and is particularly put through its paces on urban runs with passengers or a full load. When the original gearbox begins to show signs of wear, this reconditioned unit restores reliable performance without the cost of a brand-new part.

The reconditioning process is rigorous: the gearbox is fully stripped down and every component is cleaned and precisely inspected. Any gears, synchromesh rings, bearings or seals showing signs of wear are systematically replaced. The unit is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested to confirm correct operation before dispatch.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

• Stiff or crunching gear changes, particularly between 2nd and 3rd
• Gears jumping out on their own or refusing to engage cleanly
• Grinding or whining noise in neutral or while driving
• Gear lever vibrating abnormally or becoming difficult to operate
• Difficulty selecting gears when cold – a common symptom on this 5-speed gearbox
• Crunching or resistance when engaging reverse
