Basically a few people know i own the FWD cossied Fiesta and im planning on putting the engine back to STG 1 spec.

I want to know what's the best box to use.I know escort is prob the best due to LSD but will a ST170 6 speed fit and still be up to the job? Also it's running a paddle clutch witch to be honest is a bugger as its juddering when it engages and also makes a sort of whine almost grind type noise when changing down gear so is this on its way out aswell?

Thanx in advance
