That's not entirely true. It depends on the spec level and type of Escort, eg hatch, estate. I did publish the ratios some time ago so do a search and you should find. B5 cars have 3 ratios and 2 final ratios.. (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & Reverse) A- 3.58, 2.04, 1.32, 0.95, 0.76, 3.62B- 3.58, 1.91, 1.28, 0.95, 0.76, 3.62C- 3.15, 1.91, 1.28, 0.95, 0.76, 3.62 All 1.8's, and the 1.6 hatchback, have 3.82 final ratio but the 1.6 Estate has 4.27. The iB5 (Mk6) is similar: A- 3.58, 2.04, 1.32, 0.95, 0.76, 3.62B- 3.58, 1.93, 1.28, 0.95, 0.76, 3.62C- 3.15, 1.93, 1.28, 0.95, 0.76, 3.62 Same deal on final (diff) ratios ... Ratio set A is only used on 1.3/1.4 engines, B is used on 1.6 Escort Hatchbacks only and C is used on 1.6 Estate and 1.8 Hatch/Estates... MTX75's are a different story.. Ta da!
