no!

the mondeo boxes have bellhousing for starter on back of block. late escort zetecs also had starter on back of block but all gear box mounts different.
only mondeos mk1 and 2 that had starters on the front were the turbo diesels-these boxes are interchangeable with escort td and RS2000 and XR3i 130.

any mk5 escort box will fit the diesel or if you can find one any mk3 escort box as the mounts are all the same-including the 4 pim mount on the front.
