Hi everyone. I'm just wandering does anyone know a place to get recon gearbox's from off the shelf. Do the work myself. So hard to find one. Fiesta St 2008. Thanks for your help.

 

I too would like to know this, does yours pop out of second?

 

Unipart supply them.

about Ł450 exchange aslong as the bellhousing isnt cracked or diff come through the casings etc

 

Pop out of 2nd?? I wouldn't know as most of its on the road. There are multiple holes in the bell housing. So would need a complete box.

 

The doffs totally wrecked... Il post pictures tommorow to show the extent of the damage... It's totally useless.

 

Ah right, propperly broken then

 

Oh yeah. Would any 5 speed fiesta gearbox fit? Or would it have to be from another ST? I've been told yes and no by different people.

 

The bell housing us diff on a st. So yes needs to be from an st. Or mayb some 1.8 duratec mondeo boxes.

Mtx box conversion other wise.

 

Ok thanks for clearing that up.... Not what I wanted to hear tho lol. Il look into modeo boxes to see if I have any luck.

 

Been told you can get a 6 speed box?!?!? Have a look around for that, better for cruising then and it does rev its tits off on motorways.

 

A 6 speed box from what? A focus? Will it fit?

 

expect a Ł3-400 surcharge if your old unit is scrap then, as i thaught

 

I've gotta save the pennies to get it fixed... Cars never break when you have the money... But as soon as you need every penny (Christmas) they decide to break!

 

There is a certain model of 1.8ondeo 6 speed that will fit I've been told. Never looked into it.

I just popped another std box in when I blew mine to pieces.

 

Ok il look into it. My St only done 24000 and after a foolish wheelspin it blew all over the road... How did you do yours?

 

Sico developments on Facebook does mtx conversions for the fiesta st, highly recommend by many people

 

Tight right hand corner flat out in second and the diff smashed straight through the top of the box and bell housing :/ lol.

 

Well no since you have a mazda engine lol. Off the top of my head focus mk2s and mondeo mk3s and alot of mazdas will fit your engine but not sure if thay will fit your car.

best bet for fitting me thinks would be get a good st bell housing and bolt that ontop the mk1 focus 1.8 gearbox as most of the mk6 fiesta is just a mix between mondeo mk3 and mk1 focus parts and ford just liftted the front brake calipers f3om the st170 so most prop thay lifted the gearbox from the 1.8 as that had a one bell hosuing as well and just put a new one off bell hosuing on there but thats my best guess mind!
