Delivery and Shipping

UK delivery — parts we hold in stock

Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.

Parts supplied from our European supplier

A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

Collection from Arlesey

Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

International

3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

This genuine thrust washer is engineered for the M32 Gen 3 gearbox, specifically for the 5th/6th shaft assembly. Controls axial shaft movement to prevent noise and wear.

What is the M32 Gen 3 5th/6th shaft thrust washer OE 55598865?

It controls axial play on the 5th and 6th gear shaft in the M32 Gen 3 gearbox, preventing shaft movement and reducing noise and wear.

Which vehicles use this thrust washer?

Fits Vauxhall/Opel Astra, Corsa, Insignia and related models, Fiat Grande Punto, Saab 9-5 and Chevrolet vehicles with the M32 Gen 3 gearbox.

Why do M32 thrust washers fail?

High mileage, oil contamination, and bearing wear lead to thrust washer deterioration. They are a known weak point of the M32 gearbox design.

Can a worn thrust washer be the cause of M32 gearbox noise?

Yes. Worn thrust washers cause excessive shaft endplay which produces noise, vibration, and eventually gear engagement issues.
