My new project

Focus mk1 petrol uses a 1B5 gearbox

Only 1.4 & 1.6...

1.8 and 2.0 use MTX75 as well. I think the diff ratio is different though

Connects TDDI/TDCI gearbox won't bolt onto Focus 1.8/2.0 petrol engine.
Different clutch housing - Starter motor is at the bottom front on diesels & top back on petrol

2.0 ST170 uses a 6 speed MT285 gearbox (getrag)

cheers Matt! I'm going to stick with what I've got till its all in and running then start swapping stuff out, Ideally I'd like a box with an LSD, I used to have and 1800 cvh turbo in a MK5 escort van and the RS box had an LSD, do and of the boxes that fit zetec's have them??

Doing good work there mate, who's is the old business n the background? Is it yours?

[jasonescortcozzie]

No m8 we just store it in the garage.

Getting around to swapping the engine, got a fair bit done tonight




Found a puddle in passenger footwell, is there a common place they leak from??

[jasonescortcozzie]

No dramas to report so far but electrics to do next, not looking forward to that!

[jasonescortcozzie]

Bit more done, stripped down the connect struts to fit MK3 Mondeo calipers with 300mm discs



This lip has to be removed to make the carrier sit center on the disc



Painted and ready to refit



Focus ST dash fitted, some making good to do still but I like it way better than the connect one

[paul2012]

Now that's different. Focus mk1 dash in a Connect

[jasonescortcozzie]

Removed rear floor








Also siliconed the pollen filter as I think this is where my water leak was coming from

[jasonescortcozzie]

Anyone know where I might find some wiring diagrams for a connect and a focus MK1? I've got everything plugged in that goes but now need to join the rest to the vans wiring
