Posted April 22, 200321 yr some of you may know that i think ive blown my gear box, having too much power, so..... can i replace my MT75 g.box that came with my 1.8si with a MTX g.box that is found in the RS2000 and the focus RS? (this is uprated thogh for the focus) p.s. any advice would be much appreceited
April 22, 200321 yr not a clue m8 sorryim going for the same gearbox as before which i think was an mtx75 and if i had the cash id get a limited slip differential for it from focus-central.com andim also getting a new power clutch and lightened and balanced flywheel
April 22, 200321 yr isn't the MT75x the reverse lift one like on Ians diesel/Mondeos and other Fords??? Normal one is MT75 i think
April 22, 200321 yr The MTX75 in the rs2k has a LSD and the focus has a quaffe LSD, you should be able to do a straught swap if your's is alread a mtx75
April 22, 200321 yr Author mine is just an MT75 g.box the one i want is the MTX75 g.box all i know is they are different and one is stronger than the other
April 22, 200321 yr The MTX 75 box was fitted to all the 130ps model escorts and orions and the rs2000 and the focus and mondeo. In the focus RS it has a quaife ATB (automatic torque biasing) Differential All other Mk5 / 6 escorts had the IB5 gearbox if i remember rightly. The MTX75 should fit yours no problems if you get the correct remote arms
April 22, 200321 yr get one like i have mate with a lift reverse, there meant to be alot stronger and derv boxes have better ratios for acceleration
April 22, 200321 yr I always thought the MTX 75 box had 543gth and a 21bbb thrupple? connect that up to a 67 speed Dinglehoffenfargen and you'll have a more than adequate QQQ system, enough to make you 'the cruise dude'. Dunno if the negative and positive Quargies that they belt out will have 0.0000032 system change though, best ask over at Demon Tweeks.
April 23, 200321 yr Author thanks wax you've been a great help i wouldnt of been able to do it with out you RobRS1300 what are remote arms btw thanks Rob for the help
April 23, 200321 yr Have a look down your local scrappy and ask if they have any RS Focus's in..........might be lucky. Al.
April 23, 200321 yr Author cheers mate, its quite obvious when u think about it. im sure they will there cant be that much difference
