Nope, this is not true. The Beta gearbox is mounted transversely and the Fiat 
124 gearbox longitudely. Also, not a single part between the two is 
interchangeable... not bearings, not gears, not synchros... nothing. I've 
been selling internal parts for both these gearboxes for the past 18 years 
and it's a fact, they are not even related.
