Depends on the car and the box.

For instance the AR25 is fine in the 2.5 V6 Omega petrol, but in a chipped 2.5 Diesel it'll explode in bits in less than 100 miles, however the AR35 is basically bullet proof and a direct easy swap.

The signum uses the AF33 5 speed (amongst others) and there are issues on early ones. Vauxhall put the gearbox oil cooler in the main rad and the rubber washers fail meaning water in gearbox, say hello to a £2k replacement gearbox bill!!

There are also issues with the amount of oil needed in the AF40 6 speed box that causes lumpy changes
