Similar scenario here
MK3 xr2i 16. Zetec turbo somewhere around the 260mark
probably done easy 15 gearboxes in the last 12 years .
I have rs2000 escort gearbox selector shafts and all the mounts. Just trying to.source focus rs AP racing clutch and flywheel, the hardest part is figuring out if I can use fiesta SI drive shafts with the escort hubs to save the pain of getting custom shafts made. That's the part that puts me off the most .
Anyone know if there's a mix and match solution, I already run 3.5 Hubs
