Sounds like your box is on it's way out If it's a cvh then yes a s2 box will fit but not if it's zetec

Not strictly true if it's a front mounted started you can drop the BC CVH box straight in

Will be Ł160+ labour if u get a garage to do it. or yourself.. 4-7 hours. Big mission. Obviously more feasable to do mine as its on an RS.
