Can you use a gas transmission on diesel?

No, you cannot use a gasoline (gas) transmission on a diesel engine. The torque characteristics and power delivery are significantly different between gasoline and diesel engines. A gasoline transmission is not designed to handle the higher torque and lower RPM range of a diesel engine, leading to premature wear and potential catastrophic failure. They also often use different input shaft sizes and configurations.
