MTX75 gearbox is it a front wheel drive box
What car is the MTX75 gearbox for? - Is it front wheel drive ?.
I have Westfield with 1.6 CVH Inter-cooled turbo engine nos GM10162. Obviously rear wheel drive.
Stage 3 tune - 220 bhp at rear wheels 170 Lbs/ft torque.
It had MT75 gearbox, gear ratios were no good for the car, I am replacing with series 9 HD from BGH gear tech.
I want to renew the clutch.
My big problem is I don't know what clutch plate and pressure plate to use
I have removerd engine/gearbox. The pressure plate contact face outside diameter is 220 mm..
The friction plate is dia 215mm., 1 inch 23 spline 4 paddle plate.
I've spent hours in Burton's catalogue and am more confused than ever.
Burton's catalogue against some clutches say not suitable for MTX75 box ??
Please help me.

Yes front wheel drive and fitted to (as far as I know)
Mondeos 1993-2001 (all of them I think)
Focus 1998-2004 (1.8 Diesel and 2.0 Petrol)

Mt75 = rwd
MtX75. = fwd
Your problem will lie with where the mt75 come from as there are variations in ratios for petrol and diesel / sierras and granadas

you want a clutch plate from a type 9 car, so mk2 escort for example, then the cover for the rs turbo
i would speak to helix, tell them what you have and the power and torque you run they will spec you the right setup
