Difference between Focus RS and Focus Zetec box?

craigk47 · 11-01-2010, 08:29 PM

Hi, can anyone tell me what the differences between the Mk1 Focus Zetec (1.8 and 2.0) and Focus RS gearboxes are. Does the RS just have a diff in or does it go deeper? They're both MTX75 right? Cheers, Craig

both MTX75, RSs has a bit different gear ratios and a Quaife differential

i would guess there will be more internal differences.

yup, forgot to write, 1.8 has IB5, MTX75 is in 2.0 130HP and 215HP and diesels

no other differences and swap is P&P

Thanks very much everyone! Didn't realise that ford put such a cocktail of engines/gearboxes in the focuses, lol. 1.4 and 1.6-zetec SE and IB5, 1.8-zetec E and IB5, 2.0-zetec E and MTX75, RS-zetec E with modified internals (although badged as duratec!) and modified MTX75. Ballbags! lol

I assume this is the reason that only the 2.0 zetec came with ESP???
