Hi, diesel gearbox won't fit directly on a petrol engine.
You may be able to remove the bell housing from the petrol gearbox and attach it to the diesel box but I don't know if it would work

I would go ask a parts shop for the clutch release bearing (maybe the clutch plate as well) for the petrol and diesel to see if they are the same...

Probably being dumb, but will not a diesel box have totally different ratios?

Rock auto cluch kit:

Benzin: tooth number 20
Diesel : tooth number 21

So input shaft is not the same. Could i use diesel cluch kit?

Does diesel have wire driven cluch or hydraulic?
