stonecrow Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 pftt most likely tbf, I find getting things for the mk2.5 quite a challenge, its like they've forgot about this model.. I find plenty of stuck for mk1, mk2 st/rs and then mk3s but hardly anything for mk2.5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_K Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 According to Etis my mk2.5 1.6 TDCI has a MTX-75 gearbox, you’re may be the same. Apparently same as some Mondeos. There’s a shorter gearstick available for that but not a quick shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecrow Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I managed to find this so I do have the ib5 box, so might give the mk1 shifter a try My take on this is that the 1.8 and 2.0 will use the Zetec-E and will be the more solid option. The 1.6 is the Zetec-SE which is a very different engine and there is nothing wrong with it but will not wear the miles that well. 300k miles are no problem for the Zetec-E with regular oil changes and ensuring the timing belt is changed as needed. The Zetec-E is the same engine that Ford used in the MK1 Focus RS which is in indication that it is very much designed for more power than in the standard forms. Also most of the Zetec-E variants are supplied witth the more solid MTX75 gearbox whilst the 1.6 will come with the Fiesta grade IB5 gearbox.

F0CUE Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Let me know how you get on and also check in the plastic box selector area for any leaks as fixing any leaks in there and topping with oil makes a massive difference to shifting from recent experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
