All st170's are 6 speed, they are a getrac box too, pretty bomb proof.

MTX75 is what the 2.0 has I beleive, the rest are IB5.

Yes, it's exactly the same engine!

Both cars are hydraulic as well.

There are a few little differences like bolt patten on the rear mount and some gear towers are different but nothing you can't get over.

As above. The mondeo top gearbox mount bolt pattern is different too. It will fit but only with two out of three bolts holding it in.

The gear selector has to be swapped over as well, straight forward enough on these.

And as above, the lower torque link mounts are different. But can be modified to fit.

No, 1.8 (Excluding Derv) is IB5, and I should think the bell housing etc is different.

The 1.8 gearbox is ib5 but will bolt up fine

Just use the correct box for the vehicle
