Hi, can anyone tell me what the differences between the Mk1 Focus Zetec (1.8 and 2.0) and Focus RS gearboxes are. Does the RS just have a diff in or does it go deeper? They're both MTX75 right? Cheers, Craig

both MTX75, RSs has a bit different gear ratios and a Quaife differential

the 1.8 is on an ib5 btw.

i would guess there will be more internal differences.

MisiekT_PL

yup, forgot to write, 1.8 has IB5, MTX75 is in 2.0 130HP and 215HP and diesels

no other differences and swap is P&P

Shot peened internals on the RS box also.

Thanks very much everyone! Didn't realise that ford put such a cocktail of engines/gearboxes in the focuses, lol. 1.4 and 1.6-zetec SE and IB5, 1.8-zetec E and IB5, 2.0-zetec E and MTX75, RS-zetec E with modified internals (although badged as duratec!) and modified MTX75. Ballbags! lol

I assume this is the reason that only the 2.0 zetec came with ESP???
