RWD OHC Mantas used a 5 speed Getrag something or other. Lots of info about Opels here.

Vauxhall XE? I doubt the box is man enough to handle the poke of an XE though.

vauxhall xe, vauxhall ecotec, vauxhall 1.6 and v6 engines I believe all share the same bellhousing pattern, the problem will be the amount of power
(or rather torque) the box can cope with before it falls to bits. They are not known to last that long behind an xe so the v6 is definately out. The
1.6 or ecotec would prob be ok.
beware, I've got yellow skin
