vaughant Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Mate in work has just bought this: Nice little combo van, nothing special with the 1.7 derv donk. But... Shunt-o-matic!!!! Never knew such a thing existed. That's all I know apart from he said it was twice as pricey as a manual. He only passed an auto test. privatewire and mk2_craig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMotor Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Ooh a Silver Combo. Like the Calibra 15's, should be a good wee van. Give a few years of reliable serv.... Wait a minute..? Easytronic gearshifter....!? *Shudders* Long story short. Genuinely didn't know it was a thing and I had a Corsa C with the same gearbag. Wasn't a fan, to put it mildly. But should do your mate a turn. I also had a Combo and it was a great wee van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It’s an automated manual iirc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnySouth Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Is that a terrifying 'send it straight over the bridge when it goes wrong' sort of feature? HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on the Sri model it was a sport* feature. Will admit I did lust over one of those when they came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMotor Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 On 11/12/2022 at 1:29 PM, sierraman said: It’s an automated manual iirc? Your spot on. It's a GM F13 gearbox with bits added on. So the selector is auto controlled and the clutch is done by a ECU controlling the slave cylinder. That's what the clutch pack look like. Which gives the most bother. That packs up and you get the flash F of doom on the selector indicator on the speedo. Can be fixed though. ECU testing did my one, but pretty sure someone on YouTube will have a DIY guide to fixing them by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
