Is it possible to put a HQ 202 engine into any of the different transmission options of the HZ---3/4 spd manual and the 3spd trimatic and turbohydromatic ? .Are there potentional compatability problems that anyone has had experience with? I realise this could be a stupid question but i,m asking it anyway,better to be sure than sorry!! cheers, Paul

The easy options, ie factory fitment for any red/blue/black 6cyl are:
3spd - crashbox or all synchro (M15).

5spd - Borg Warne |

The V8 trimatic won't bolt to the 202. It can be made to, but that involves changing the pump and bellhousing. You are better off buying a trimatic out of a HQ-VK. The best 6cyl box to get is a VK EFI one, which is basically a V8 box with the 6cyl pump an |

Will it make any difference that the engine was new in 1999.?Is it possible the mount is on the head of the new 202?

Byron - "It's not easy to use a Commodore box if you intend using a column shift" - is it a pig to do and to use? and do you have the gear ratios for the 5spd options?
