3,2 with 5-speed auto box
« on: 02 February 2010, 10:02:19 »
Does anyone have any idea what is the story with some Opel Omega 3,2 having a five speed automatic gearbox? What is the gear box model? I think it is not the same as in some diesels? Which cars were fitted with that box and why? Some 3,2 have "normal" 4-speed AR35 but some of the latest models seem to have 5-speed...

Mines a uk model 53 plate and has a 5 speed auto box. Not sure if its 4 speed with overdrive or what, but definately changes through 5 gears.

If you have D 3 2 1 it's a 4 speed with lock-up in 3rd & 4th  :y  :y

Agreed, a tunning box on one of those brings it up to about 200bhp  :y

Not as much, as there is no turbo to fiddle with

It's easy to interpret the torque converter lockup as an additional gearchange on the 4 speed models. I didn't think any Uk models got the 5 speed gearbox. :-/ (it was a GM 5L40 gearbox IIRC)

If you have got a 5 speed 3.2 (which will indeed have PRND4321 on the gear selector), then...

Was Hans-V6's car.

Got a picture of the selector but not on my home laptop at the moment.

5 speed auto only on Y25DT (never put in Vauxhall). This helped overcome the defficiencies of the ratios on the AR25 fitted to U25DT and X25DT engines.  But mostly done because the Y25DT would rip the AR25/35 to bits ;D

AFAIK, there is no map for the 4L40 on anything other than Y25DT, so even if someone did graft it on, it would most likely be far from ideal.
