1991 applause 4x4 gearbox swap from fwd?

Forum: 

Hello, i had some bad luck with my turbocharged applause this weekend, ended up breaking the gearbox, (third gear cogwheels all smashed up..) too much power i think?

Anyway, the question remains.. since i can't seem to find gearboxes out here in finland, i was wondering if the frontwheel drive applause had any same parts on the gearbox?

I have opened the 4x4 gearbox, and i could have a frontwheel drive gearbox for cheap, and fast.. just wondering if the cogwheels and other parts fit there, if anyone has had this same problem..

The only information i have found about this topic, is that the two gearboxes have absolutely same ratios, and the 4x4 gearbox is basically like a fwd gearbox, since the power to the backwheels comes from a bevel gear that just runs through the drive shaft hole..
