Will phone jamsport up thanks for info
Sorry about all questions as I dont have a clue when it comes to gearboxes of which are which etc
Yeah the IB5's have more 'webbing' around the casing which prevents flex and the bigger bearings too, they are by far the best option for a direct fit replacement and cost £50 or less!
Lots of the newer Fords have IB5 box's, Focus and Ka for example, but as I said you'll need to find one with the starter in the right place and a cable clutch, lots of variants.
