Reconditioned Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo Gearbox – 6-Speed Manual – Ref. 55493090

Reconditioned Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo Gearbox – Reference 55493090

This reconditioned gearbox for the Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo, compatible with A14NET and A14NEL engines, carries reference 55493090. It is suitable for both private customers and garages looking to replace a worn gearbox without resorting to an uncertain original part. The reconditioning process is thorough: the gearbox is fully stripped down, every component is cleaned and inspected, and the gears, synchros, bearings and seals are replaced according to the wear found. The unit is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch. It offers a reliable solution to recurring faults caused by internal wear of the gears and synchros, while restoring the original performance of your Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On an Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo fitted with this 6-speed manual gearbox, several warning signs point to a worn unit:

• Stiff or imprecise gear changes, particularly into second or third
• Crunching or grinding when changing gear
• A gear jumping out or refusing to engage whilst driving
• Unusual noise in neutral or vibrations felt through the gear lever
• Abnormal resistance, or occasional stiffness, in the gear lever

These symptoms are sometimes accompanied by a smell of burning oil or a leak at the casing – a further sign that the gearbox should be replaced without delay.

Exchange Basis – No Downtime for Your Vehicle

This reconditioned gearbox is delivered to your garage first: it is fitted before the old gearbox – casing intact – is collected. Your vehicle is therefore never off the road waiting for the old unit to be returned. This arrangement allows your workshop to carry on working normally throughout the entire process. Return of the old gearbox is nonetheless required once fitting is complete, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
