Hi big wasa. Wow. Thats going to be a huge help. Thanks for that.
Bothy gearboxes are ib5. Im told the ib5s are identified if the gear selector cables are at the front.
The gears in the focus box grind. I dont know why, it was already done when i gave my step mum scrap value, apparently.
My thought was to swap the focus bellhousing onto the fiesta box, but my experience of gearboxes is limited to army landrovers. I assumed the bell housing would just unbolt and come off. Instead it seems tied to its internals somehow. Little bit out of my league. How do i remove it? Or ultimately would i be wiser to get hold of another focus gearbox with rear starter position and just bolt that straight up? Cheers for all your advice buddy. Its really appreciated.
