      Hello, I have the following car:
      -Opel/Vauxhall Astra J – 1.6L Petrol –
      -engine: A16XER/85kw/115hp
      -transmission: 6T40-MH8 GEN. 3
      -vin: W0LPD6ED1BG008280
      The car refuses to move forward, only goes back in reverse smooth, only feel a small, small, bunk in the seat when I shift through gears. When in D, the front of the car rise a little but little bit barely noticeable but won’t go forward.

      I have gone to a junkyard and I’ve found the exactly same car as mine as described before:
      -Opel/Vauxhall Astra J – 1.6L Petrol –
      -engine: A16XER/85kw/115hp
      -vin: W0LPC5DD3DG096590
      !! but this has an 6T30-MH9 GEN. 3 transmission on it.
      -Do you think it will work plug and play on my car as it is the same car that I’ve got it from? Junkyard guy has no knowledge about it.

      From what I’ve search on google they share the same TEHCM (as it’s GENERATION3 written on the back of the trans). Should I first try to clean the valve body and solenoids on mine? My transmission has no error codes at all, scanned with 3 tools. From what I get if I put the 6T30 on my car it may need programming.
      -Wondering if I may put the 6T30 up on the car with the TEHCM from mine (6T40). I have dropped 5L of oil at cold temp from my trans, it has a coffe look and it stains the paper hard. What y’all advise me to do. ?
