Will my Fiesta 1998 1.4 CVH-PTE gearbox fit on a Fiesta 1997 1.3 Endura E engine? Both gearbox part numbers are almost exactly the same. My fiesta 1998 gearbox part number is 96WT-7F 096DB And The 1997 Gearbox part number is 96WT-7F 096CB.

Yes, the gearbox from your 1998 Ford Fiesta 1.4 CVH-PTE is likely to fit the 1997 Ford Fiesta 1.3 Endura E engine, as both gearboxes share almost identical part numbers. Be sure to check the electrical connectors and CV axle input shaft splines. Also check the clutch input shaft spines as well.

I'm going to upload two pictures of the cvh gearbox and the endura gearbox. I see they have a slight difference.

It is hard to tell if it will work, they look similar but you need to look at both in person.
