Technical Ducato MK1 Gearbox compatibility

[Big Gus]

Hey folks, I have gearbox issues with my 1986 Mk1 Ducato 2.4D motorhome and have found a possible replacement box. Problem is, it is from a petrol 2.0 van. Does anyone know if it is compatible with the 2.4D? Thanks!

I would guess no!
The reason appears to be the 2 litre petrol was a French PSA engine and the 2.4 diesel was a Italian Sofim engine.
If you type in Fiat Ducato on a web search and go to wikipedia you get lots of detail, but bascially;-

Petrol: 1.8 L PSA 169B I4 2.0 L PSA 170 I4 Diesel: 1.9 L Fiat 149B I4 1.9 L Fiat 280A turbo I4 2.4/2.5 L Sofim 8144 I4 2.4/2.5 L Sofim 8140.27 turbo I4
