90ps connect vs 90ps focus, what happened??

[paul2012]

Focus mk1 TDDI gross weight is around 1755kg (Base weight depending on aptional extras)

There has been a few members on here that have fitted focus gearboxes to their connects

[keirv6]

What's the differance in spedo drive locations do the gearboxes have codes to know what diff is fitted

i had my connect 75 (11 plate) on the weigh bridge... 1680KG empty..... :S no wonder my 136BHP (remapped) 04 plate focus is so much faster....

You have a 75ps connect so your focus will be faster

A MTX75 gearbox from a Focus mk1 will be fine (not a Focus 2005 onwards)

remember to remove the gear selector mech from the top of your original connect gearbox & fit it to the Focus one, otherwise you will find your gears are upside down)

Thanks

Will the gearbox have a code to tell me what diff is inside or are they all 3.41

For Focus mk1 TDDI & TDCI they are both 3.41

I have had a focus box fitted to my van when I first bought it. Mine is a 110 and I noticed that it isn't as sharp out of the blocks but is a lot better at motorway speeds as the gears seen longer, it will sit comfortably at 80mph at just over 2500rpm, which is what it used to do at 70mph. My mpg figures improved too.

I have only just spotted this reply, other than motorway driving once it was going was it a better power band than the original box? Does it feel little laggy in comparison? Cheers

Unless they weigh'd the van with him in it which could explain the difference
