Probably not..... JTD 115 Stilos have a concentric slave cylinder inside the gearbox bell housing. The gearbox in your link has conventional external cylinder.
May be possible to change it but I suspect you would need to replace the clutch, flywheel and perhaps the crankshaft. Clutch master cylinder may be a different bore for the external and concentric slave cylinders so that may need replacing too.
Keep looking.

everything thats blue, if its blue then its mine :devil:
Well spotted Dave..from now we will call you eagle eyes..
I buy lots of new Fiat original parts cheap off eBay for my MW JTD. Most of them I don't need now but I buy them for "just in case". Because I'm not fitting them yet, I want to be absolutely sure they are the correct parts so look very carefully and do as much research as I can to confirm suitability.
Recently bought (All genuine Fiat):
Alternator........................ £40...... Fiat price £295
MAF sensor...................... £25...... Fiat price £167
Electric seat switch............ £6....... Fiat price £467
Lower wishbone.................£14....... Fiat price £116
Anti roll bar link.................. £1....... Fiat price £18
Wiper motor & linkage.........£15....... Fiat price £163
Clutch Kit ...................... .£24....... Fiat price £244
Slave cylinder.................. £27....... Fiat price £80
Sliding roof control panel.... £15....... Fiat price £292
It's like a Fiat spares department out in my garage.

Anyhoo, i have finally sat down for the day, its been pretty hetic with the stilo deciding not to play this morning. I had set off to work, popped in post office to collect a parcel i missed, came back out and could not get 1st gear at all. So off i set in 2nd, discover i have no 3rd either, 4th is ok but no 5th. I can't push it in at all no matter how much force is applied, there is no grinding at all when doing so.
Decided against driving miles from home and thought ah, i'll get the cinq out, only needs brakes bleeding (new uprated brakes fitted but not bled a while back) - well there lies a whole other story that i won't go into right now, needless to say i been out there most of day and still car-less... Bugger.
Now i had a bit of time to think about it and chat with couple of people (non of which have a stilo btw) and i'm thinking theres probably nothing wrong with the gearbox, this is just a selection issue. My first thought this morning was synchromesh, its been a little bit notchy for a while and had a few but rare grinds when driving enthusiastically.
But considering it was fine, then i stopped, got back in and 1st 3rd and 5th are all gone, clutch is fine going in 2nd and 4th and reverse ie. it works fine when the selector is going one way but not the other. So thinking its a problem with the selector.
To be honest i don't usually mess with the stilo, its usually goes in the garage, tend to play with the cento's and milo the stilo goes in the garage and through the company books.. I'm well tight at the mo (aren't we all) and need to fix it myself.. Don't know anything really about the stilo so... has the selector got any adjustment on it? Looks easy enough to change if not..
Lay some knowledge on me people, where should i go from here?
PS. hope all that makes sense, i'm to tired to read it back
PPS. Thanks Davren, i could've been £80 lighter for no reason there

I think you're probably correct.
There are 3 seperate selector forks attached to 3 seperate selector rods within the gearbox, one for 1st & 2nd, one for 3rd & 4th and one for 5th & rev. The fact that you've lost 1st, 3rd and 5th (one from each selector set and all 'forward facing') suggests the fault is more likely to be outside the gearbox.
Check for play in the ball joints and connectors at each end of the 2 selector cables and for loose fulcrums and levers at the gearbox end and under the gearstick. I think the gearstick end of the cables and lever can only be accessed from under the car.

will have a gander 2moro.
lol. I bet mine out does yours (although is mainly Classic Panda parts
).And I thought I was bad at buying spares for the 'just incase'.
I was the same had loads of stuff for a 1.6 and in the end I sold the lot cos i never needed it..dont supppose I could interest you in a new injector for a 1.6 to add to your parts dept..its going cheap..

Sod's Law dictates that when I do need something, it'll be something I haven't got.
If it's one of those 1.6 injectors that fits a JTD, then yeah, I'd love to buy it.

Right.. this is my problem..
That little thing there is coming out and getting in the way of the mechanism.
noticed it was sticking out a bit, so pushed with finger and it went straight back in, all gears present, YAY, its not a big problem
So anyhoo, it just pulls straight out and is snapped off half way down.
So what is it for exactly?? nothing seems wobbly or anything without it there

Looks like a retaining pin for the external selector shaft. The fact that you could pull it out means it's loose and the rest of it is likely to come out again. Probably when you really don't want it to.
Fiat do a repair kit for the external selector (part number 71733577) consisting of all the parts marked 'A' in this diagram but it's £159.63 +VAT. If it were mine, I'd be pulling it apart to see how it worked and making something to repair it with.
Bet your really glad you didn't buy that gearbox now.

indeed!!
it got dark so had to stop messing, gonna take some bits off for better access

Just looked at this again and I think item 5 in the diagram may be the pin. It's supplied seperately and is not part of the kit.
If you cant see anything else in the vicinity of your selector that looks like it, there's a fair chance that this is what you need. It's part number 71719553 and only costs 85p. It's described as a plug but ePER descriptions, and diagrams, are seldom very accurate. Would be worth checking if your local Fiat dealer has one in stock to compare with your broken bit.
If the dealer has to order it, they're only supplied from Fiat in multiples of 5 and you may have to buy all 5.

i have removed the broken bit, so i am back driving for now.. Thats top stuff though mate i will order one but i'm gonna leave it until it it/if it falls out. tried to move the remaining bit and its solid as anything so i'm happy with it for now, i will systematicly check it
edit, i'm pretty sure it is one of the pieces marked 'A' tbh though

Does anyone think that this could be linked to an occasional problematic selection of 2nd gear on the 6 speed 1.4
