Jamie Gwilliam Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi. So ive got a 1.8 mk1 focus zetec. The bottom end is rattling, hence; knackered. However, im looking to do an engine change. I've spotted a mint 2.0 automatic engine. Question is, will this fit straight up to my manual gearbox and is there any ACTUAL difference between a manual engine and this one that i need to be aware of? All help welcome.

artscot79 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 2 completely different gearboxes that dont interchange you need a b5 gearbox from 1999-2004 for youre car engine wise they would fit if you get the gearbox and engine complete but use totally different set ups and ecus youde need the auto engine and gearbox with all accessories and wiring and the ecu which means reprogramming of keys a new dash cluster for the automatic pedals removed etc etc etc a massive job so easy answer is replace like for like you need a blacktop zetec engine in 1.8 form as the 1.6 is a totally different layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Gwilliam Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Let me clear this up a little. My 1.8 is a manual. The 2.0 was automatic. Without its origianal automatic gearbox which i dont want, will the 2.0 fit my gearbox. Ps, keeping same ecu aswell. ie, whereas it normally fits the auto box, will it also bolt up to my manual one.

artscot79 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 they wont fit the 2.0 is an mtx75 box the 1.8 uses the ib5 gearbox 2 totally different units and since the 2.0 is set up for an auto box it wont work ie gearing flywheel etc will all be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Gwilliam Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Ok. So will a manual mtx75 box fit a former-auto engine either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
