Also, anyone have an idea of the cost? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Almost all mk6 base models are fitted with the iB5 gearbox. The MTX75 box is fitted to the more powerful models.

cosrep Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Your car should have the iB5 gearbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber60 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 actually as its an early mk6 its probably a B5 instead of an IB5, dunno if there is a difference but ford said there are two types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosrep Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ok mate, firstly you don't need a new one, second hand will do. Try Your local breakers in cork and failing this try Mullingar auto recylers - 04443755 or email them at carparts@iol.ie, I deal with them quite a bit and there frendly and quite helpful usually.
