hi there
what are you asking? are you changing the auto box from a 2.0 to the 2.3 'box?
if so, then it will fit ok. you need to change the vss over as the speedo will be out a bit.

I thought the 2.3 autobox had one more brake band than the 2.0 autobox.....could be wrong though

hi there
yes, the 2.3 does have 1 more band. the bigger the engine, the more band in the 'box.
so going from a 2.0 to a 2.3 is ok.

If it's a 2.0 16V then the wiring looms are the same as the 2.3 as far as I know.
Apart from the 2.3 having a different inlet manifold, throttle & air trunking then there isn't really much else that is different  ......The 2.0 inlet manifold etc will still fit the 2.3 though, but the vacuum pipes will have to be modified slightly.....& you'll probably have to replace the ECU as well
Good Luck
