no point mate.. ratios are exactly the same... all cavalier close ratio boxes have the same ratios... the exact tooth counts on cogs varies.. but the end ratios are the same.
all you would be doing is swapping a newer box for an older one... with likely more miles.. (plus ive never found F20's to be as smooth to use)
in each gear at each RPM you will be doing the exact same speed with both boxes... so its just not worth it

he already has one in his car... why would he want another one?
he's just asking if its worth "upgrading" to an F20... which its not.

lol... i think from what he's writen that he was just trying to work out if an F20 was better in some way.
id have the F18 over the F20 any day... smoother action.. newer and pretty much as strong (as long as it aint a vectra one)

i see no reason not to swap an F20 for an F18 in a calibra.... its 6 and half a dozen.. same ratios... and yes the F20 "was" a stronger box.. but age and mileage probably makes the F18 a safer bet
you will however lose the inspection plate making clutch changes more expensive.
