its not just the problem of fitting that box

its the hydraulic slave cylinder and then the master clutch cylinder pedal etc

then the cable linkage

Its not hard to fit the box if you have the brackets, mounts and shafts already done for you ready to fit

Makes it even less stress if you have the Zetec bottom end.

You need a S1 antiroll bar. Then our fabiricated mounts/brackets for the box bolt on.

The box bolts straight on to the block using decent clutch & plate etc...

The shafts are 909 parts using a two or THREE piece shaft setup.

Outer ends are 909 parts for a cossie and a RS2000 modded to fit a mk3/4 hub assembly

The only modd needed to do to the chassis is:-
The N/S chassis inner. This needs a section about 3in long, cut and then welded back together allowing a little more room for the box to clear the side.

Price depends on what parts you need i.e BOX, S1 Roll BAR, MOUNTS/BRACKETS, SHAFTS, CUPS, HUBS, BEARINGS, WELDING

Regards
Jano

So its bassically to supply the other bits

i can source a box also, but it depends how cheap you can supply one.

I was going to fit the MTX75 about a year ago.

The gear change linkage is really easy.

Its the mounts, drive shafts and clutch that are the problem.

I decided for the hasstle and cost it was better to buy a Bernie box

P.S. if anyone needs a nice focus MTX75 gear change i have a nice lift reverse one
