box is the same but you need to swap valve block too by turning box sump up ,removing sump undo all the slighly larger headed torx screws t27 and lifting off dont undo all the screws other wise valve block will seperate, ther is a special tool for setting put if you fit screws loosely and then center block on the screws by moving in all directions fully then putting in center of , it will be ok

box has the same ratios ,but block controls timing of gear change petrol valve block isnt very good with a diesel,so you swap the block
