Gearbox Fiat Ducato | Standard Exchange and Repair

What are the symptoms of a problem with the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato?

The behavior of your utility vehicle will allow you to evaluate the wear of its parts. As far as the transmission is concerned, the signs differ depending on whether it is a manual or automatic transmission.

Let's start with the BVMs, in other words, mechanical or manual gearboxes. When the oil in the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 2.8 or the Gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 2.5 jtd loses viscosity, it becomes difficult to shift gears when cold. Once the engine is warmed up, gear shifting becomes smoother. Your gears may also shift poorly in both cold and hot conditions. Again, this is because the lubrication is incorrect, causing wear and tear on the gearbox of your second-hand Fiat Ducato 1.9 td window gearbox or your gearbox for Fiat Ducato 2.8 idtd, for example. If your gears jump or you hear crackling noises, it is necessary to have the gearbox checked by a specialist. References are given for information only as these problems can occur on all types of BVMs.

For BVAs or automatic gearboxes, a longer reaction time between neutral and first should alert you. In some cases, shifting gears becomes complicated or even impossible. This blockage is detrimental to your driving comfort in addition to having harmful consequences on the vehicle's performance.

In most cases, the problem therefore stems from the quality and quantity of oil in the Fiat Ducato 2.3 JTD Multijet 20GP gearbox and other references. If, for example, the oil change of the Gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd or the oil change of the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.5 tdi is not carried out on time, the lubrication of parts such as the gears leaves something to be desired. This is of course valid for any other reference such as the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd. Difficulties in shifting your gears will automatically force you to force, which will result in permanent damage to the gearbox, whether it's a BVM or a BVA.

Any unusual signs other than those mentioned above should obviously prompt you to consult a professional who will establish a precise diagnosis, such as the need to carry out an oil change of the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 1.9 td (or other model), or even the replacement of the defective part.

The different kinds of Gearbox for Fiat Ducato

In 1978, Fiat began designing what would become the Ducato in 1981. The first models were equipped with a manual gearbox, but the range soon expanded to include automatic versions that made driving much easier.

The code 6HP28 can refer to a gearbox for Ducato 2.5 td from the years 1990 to 1993 and then from 2003. The code 20GP16 (and many others 20GP05, 20GP06, 20GP07, 20GP08, 20GP17, 20GP18 etc.) often refers to the gearbox for Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd built until 2006, then the gearboxes present on the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 models.

The Comfort Matic makes its debut in 2012. It is the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 130 multijet and other multijet engines with power ratings from 115 hp to 180 hp. It is a version that exploits the operation of a 6-speed BVM, coupled to an electro-hydraulic actuator that guarantees greater clutch flexibility. The technology allows you to switch between automatic, robotic or manual mode.

In 2020, the Ducato reinvents itself once again to meet more demanding requirements. The automatic gearbox that equips this version has 9 gears, something never before seen in the Ducato family.

If Fiat has chosen to diversify its engines, it is to ensure advantageous mechanical performance. The most recent models also take into account the impact of the Ducato on the environment. This once again confirms the importance of identifying the correct part number for your spare gearbox, as a miscalculation can be costly in many ways. It is therefore necessary to distinguish between the gearbox of a Ducato 2.8 jtd, the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd, the gearbox of a Ducato 2.5d, the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 3.0 HDI 6 Speed M40 or the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 1.9 td, among others.

How do you replace the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato?

The replacement is not necessarily the solution to a problem of Gearbox on a Fiat Ducato 1.9 td, a problem of Gearbox on a Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd or a malfunction on another existing reference. It is therefore necessary to first evaluate the part and identify the exact cause of the malfunction. As mentioned above, it is best to call in a specialist craftsman.

The check of your vehicle can consist of evaluating the gearbox oil of a Fiat Ducato 2.8 or the gearbox oil of a Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd for example. The mechanic will check the viscosity, the level and the tightness of the seals. He can check the capacity of the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd or any other model to identify any possible leak.

If the damage is too severe, the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd - or other model - must be removed before replacing it with a fully functional gearbox.

The procedure to follow is never easy because it takes precision tools to overcome a problem with Gearbox on a Fiat Ducato 130 multijet, a Gearbox for Fiat Ducato 2.5 d or a Gearbox fiat ducato 2.8 jtd problem, among others. Indeed, it is essential to follow very precise steps to carry out a removal without damaging anything.

Afterwards, many more checks have to be made. Is the oil in the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd of the quality indicated? Does the level of the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd. comply with the manufacturer's specifications? Is the gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd. adequately filled? It should be noted that the filling of a gearbox for the Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd and the filling of a gearbox for the Fiat Ducato 1.9 td is not necessarily carried out in the same way. The particularities of the reference concerned must therefore be observed. Is the gearbox filler cap of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd gearbox in good condition? Are all the fasteners of the second-hand gearbox of the Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd correctly positioned? These questions must be asked regardless of the type and model of your gearbox.

In the case of a BVA, it will probably have to be reprogrammed and the process varies depending on whether it is a used Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd gearbox or another model.

So don't dare to replace your box yourself. Entrust the operation to your garage to save time and benefit from a guarantee on the work carried out. After replacement, remember to have the part serviced regularly. This may involve changing the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd, changing a gearbox for a Ducato 2.3 jtd, checking the oil level in the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 2.8 jtd or the oil level in the gearbox of a Fiat Ducato 1.9 td, etc.
