Hi,

Does anyone know if the gearbox in the new focus 1.8 and 2.0 Duratec is an IB5 or an MTX75???

Thanks

Scott

 

mtx75

 

Is that a definate?? they are all MTX???

Does anyone know of another IB5 which will fit a Duratec engine?? (other than the Fiesta ST150)

Thanks

 

ib5 is differnt to mtx75, mondeo uses same box, should be loads kicking around though

 

ka's also use IB5 boxes i belive

why do you want to use one

the gears are smaller,,,, the forks are smaller and thinner,,,, the only good thing about them is double syncros,,,,, the ratios aint even that good as the IB5 is for small engine cars aint it

 

The duratec has a different bolt pattern to all the other ford engines as it is mazda derived, The only reason i want an ib5 is to bolt directly into the fiesta without mods. A MTx75 would require new mouns and chassis fabrication.

Thanks

 

the engine mounts for a IB5 aint the same as a erst BC box,,,,,,,, you DO know that dont you ?

what car is it for ?

also dont forget hydro clutch system

 

also mtx and ib5 are differnt mount depending on car, fiesta/puma is same box as ka, but uses differnt mount which carnt be swapped

 

What box does the 1.6 focus have? Mine doesen't like to go into reverse without fiddling with the clutch. And even then it will rattle sometimes and not go anywhere.

MTX or IB5 im sure,,,,,, as i dont lift for reverse on my mates old focus,,,,, though he aint had it for a while

 

1.6 im sure is IB5 though,,,,, the way you tell is MTX has a spiderweb sort of casting and the IB5 is smooth and looks like a BC box with a mount at the top of the casing

 

1.6 should be ib5, im sure ib5 is on linkages and the mtx on cable

 

yes, its for a mk4 fiesta.

A box from a Ka or an RST would NOT fit the Duratec engine (the all alloy one)

I need to know if any other cars came with the IB5 coupled with a Duratec engine!!!

On the older focus the 2.0, ST170 and RS all had MTX, the rest had IB5.
the older spec IB5's are rod change and the MTX has alwasy been cable as far as i know

cheers
