was yours a zetec if so you wont have a front mount on the engine now erst only uses three 2 gear box and one back of engine i think you need to mod the rear mount its only a case of cutting a bit off

monty

thanks

r u using the s1 box? the mk5 and s1 turbo have the same setup, i put one in my mk5.

the mk 4 rst uses a cradle. i do have a mount somewhere from mine, but the old one from the escort should fit the s1 box or keep the desel box in?

the s1 box has 4 holes at the front to mount it with. s2 turbo box uses cradle.

monty

its a s2 box was thinking about putting the diesel box back in but would prefer to use the turbo 1

u can rebuild the desel box to use rst internals. or just buy a series one box, both seem to fetch the same sort of cash... shame im a bit poor at the mo i need a s2 box

use the desel one and fit lsd from yr box for now? generally desel boxes are meant to be stronger

monty

cheers mate will give that a go but is the desiel box not slower on the take off? coz its geared differntly

monty

ok tried to swap gearboxes and the shaft that comes out the box is bigger on the desiel box than on the turbo 1 so it doesnt fit into the fly wheel or clutch so i tried to use the deseil flywheel and clutch but it doesnt fit on

any help would be good

cheers

the mk4 box doesnt fit into the mk5.
use a mk5 cvh box.
the gearbox from the mk5 1.6cvh efi has got to be the same shaft size, if it aint i'll eat mt hat!!
