Hi all,
My 06 1.2 gearbox is starting to die on me. I've done 260,000km so 2nd and 3rd are a bit over worked in our hilly city.

I want to replace the box but I can only find the 1.4's being stripped for spared.

The question is, will the 1.4 gearbox fit the 1.2 engine?

I doubt the ratio's are the same though, but it would be awesome (and save me a lot of cash) if it was the same gearbox. Especially if I could then throw a 6 speed in because the 1.2 needs that extra gear on the freeways.

TIA for the help.

Blimey.......260,000km....about.....162k miles.....that some serious miles and no wonder the gearbox is getting a bit flaky. Pretty sure in saying that the 1.2 and 1.4 gearboxes are different but someone with more knowledge will be a long soon to confirm.

Yep. One thing I've learned is that I should never by a car with a small engine again. It labours in lower gears because where I live in Durban and South Africa in general is quite hilly.

My local Fiat agent said it's the same gearbox, and the engine number on the "donor" car start with the same digits. But I don't really know what that means. Also our local Fiat agents are coupled with Mercedes and Jeep so they know very little about my GP.
