Hi I as wondering if the gearbox from a standard Fiat Panda would be the same as the gearbox from the 4x4 Fiat Panda?

cheers![8D]

I think not, but might be wrong.

Are you trying to keep a 4x4 going using parts from a 2x4?

I suspect there's a lot more different than you'd imagine, but my Haynes doesn't cover it.

Porter might.

I suspect the cheap (parts) option would be to buy a fully working, but rusted out 2x4, and transplant:
engine
gearbox
driveshafts
font hubs (maybe even the struts and brakes)
gear selection mechanism

and drop the prop shaft off the rear axle.


It would have to be a truly wonderful, fully intact, rust free shell to warrant that sort of effort.

I hope I'm wrong :I

Pete might be along in a while - he'll probably know better

Is yours a 965cc or 999cc 4X4?

The Porter manual does cover the 4x4, but as my copy seems to have done the disappearing act I'm unable to confirm in how much detail.

Sorry.

yeah i'm trying to keep the 4x4 going by using bits from another panda, just need to find out whether the box is the same. cheers!

This maybe to far for u to travel but there is a panda 4x4 being broken at a breakers yard just off the A12 half way between chelmsford and colchester. most bits were still on it today including engine gearbox drive shafts....there phone number is 01376 583592. if you ring them they will give you directions how to get there.
