Richdot Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Morning, went to look at a 59 plate Focus mk2 1.6 titanium petrol last night. Decent car 40k full ford dealership history, keyless entry etc happy with the spec. Needs a little tlc on the bodywork which the dealer will do but my main question. The gearbox B5/IB5 is the code now I know one particular gearbox not sure if it is this one has problems with syncros and the gear control selector at the top. But I found this box to be very lazy, sloppy was a little notchy going into 3rd as well at first. Is this normal from this model and gearbox?

wilto Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Doesn't necessarily mean it's the gearbox, it sounds more like faulty/badly adjusted selector cables to me me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONATHAN_11_80 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 They can be a little notchy I wouldnt worry about it as long as the box is quiet and doesnt make any unpleasant noises when changing gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richdot Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Didn't get that car got something else but quite a few people at work have the mk2 focus 1.6 and all of them are different how the gearbox feels... must just be how they are! I still got a focus and that feels different to the one I looked at and everybody's at work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
