Default Focus ST225 gearbox vs ST220 gearbox!

Hi guys, apart from different ratios is there anything stopping me putting the internals of a Focus ST box into the casing of an ST220??

Thanks.

Aren't they completely different boxes? From what I remember my Fathers ST220 had an MMT6 box with reverse in the top left and his T5 had reverse in bottom right?

Thanks guys. Do you think the whole Focus box would bolt up to the V6?

Probably not. It's a Volvo engine so will most likely be a completely different stud pattern and shaft spline.
Can't you just replace it with a standard box?

But the ST220 has an MMT6 and the Focus ST has a 6MTT450 correct? From what I can gather they're essentially the same.

Focus st225 gearbox.



Mondeo st220 gearbox. They are both completely different and I very much doubt the internals are interchangeable. Why do you want to use an st225 gearbox over the Mondeo's?
