Default Gearbox in Mark5 escort running RST

Hi all, I recently bought a Escort MK5 with a RS Turbo engine and the gearbox or clutch does not feel right.

I think the engine has been modified. Can you tell me what is the best gearbox I can replace it with as I might be upping the power soon

Cheers

as it's a mk5 you will have no problems fitting the mtx75 out of a rs2000 etc in the engine bay you will need to get hold of correct mounts for it though unless there on it when you get it and this should sort any issues you've got
