you can put a mark 3 gear box in a mark 4.but not the other way round
if you want a 5 speed box. one out of a mark 5,6,7 escort will fit

thats what i was thinking lol thebn i went on a web site where the chap said he had used a series 2 rst box on a 16i anti roll bar?

as this was the problem when i changed my last engine in mk mk3 from a mk4.
