I am looking to fit an mtx75 gearbox to my zt van which has an ib5 gearbox, Will my clutch fit the mtx75 box?

No, as mtx has different spline main shaft

siward

ok, Do i need an rs2000 clutch? Will it take 300bhp?

im under the inpression that a focous rs clutch used with a 2.0 flywheel will fit. but have heard that the clutch will eat the flywheel witch i fined had to bealeve

siward

ok, I am using a fiesta rs turbo flywheel as i am running ofab management, Not sure what clutch i need now:-(

clarke5700

you will have to change to a 2.0 zetec flywheel then make sure you get the cps and the bracket it mounts in. thease will work fine on ofab

crazycage

what car is the mtx out of ??

siward

Escort rs2000

your going to have problems getting a clutch for it that will take the power you want .have you thought about getting a focus rs box they have a diff as standard and a short shift gear stick and hydraulic clutch witch is really nice. and you dont need a paddle the organic is good for well over 300hp

siward

Would an rs2000 clutch fit with the fiesta rs turbo flywheel?

Would this be any good?

no its too big you need a 2.0l flywheel.

clarke5700

nope

siward

I have just bought the box, subframe, driveshafts and everything else i need to do the conversion. Apart from the clutch from a mk5 rs2000. I was thinking about the focus box but the cable gear linkages put me off as i would'nt have a clue how to fit it.

siward

So if i get a 2.0 zetec flywheel and the cps and bracket, I can use the rs2000 clutch?

crazycage

yes but dont think it will take the power.

siward

not even an rs2000 paddle clutch?

clarke5700

realy this is intresting what if used with the paddal clutch?

crazycage

a good zetec turbo will piss 300hp and 300ftlbs and the rs2000 paddles are only rated to just over 200ftlb .

siward

ok is there any other clutch i can use? like the focus rs clutch?

Maki

With mtx box I would use everything of the 2,0 zetec flywheel and 240 mm clutch (get ap paddle kit for it and you will be laughing)

siward

Cheers mate, What clutch do i need to buy for use with the 2.0 zetec flywheel, Ive looked on ap's website but they dont do one for an mk5 escort rs2000. Are there any other clutches that will fit, What about a cosworth clutch?

Si

crazycage

helix do a paddle for the rs2000

siward

cheers mate, I will have a look

Rick

Helix clutch is your best bet.

I'm surprised no-body's mentioned that using 240mm clutch meant for a FRS doesn't fit in a cable release MTX. Although the 2.0l Zetec flywheel has been the same since '92 and will take a 240mm clutch, the normal road clutch is 228mm.

ZF Sachs do a 240mm clutch for the 2.0 Zetec/ST225 in organic and cerametal/paddle. Seem to remember had quite good ratings. Also the cover was pressed steel rather than the bulky alloy of AP, though that might have been a generic illustration.
