using your technique! I was able to remove my mtx-75 housing... I will now proceed to swap out the open diff... with an LSD! A Legend in David Patience!. I've left a direct feature on my channel for you... so that people can jump over and learn something!
I've owned quite a few Focuses with this transmission and have never had any issues with them. Interesting to see what's going on inside. I can tell you that shift linkage pin is a common failure point in the pre-2008 transmissions.
Nice!! I love mine. 2014 Focus with 100k miles. I put all of them on myself. Question- what’s the source of the gear lash noise when this thing warms up to operating temp? It’s a rattle that is evidently a normal sound from these units.
it is called neutral gear rollover. It is normal, but some are worse than others. Proper fluid, a smooth idling engine and good motor / transmission mounts all help.
That shift mechanism pin busted because of that hammer on top of the shift tower. I cut the hammer off of my shift tower and never had a problem again.
Hello friend! How are you? Congrats for the videos. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 If you don't mind ask, I would like to know if it is possible to swap the ib5 gearbox (from a ford focus 1.6 sigma 2012) for mtx75 gearbox (from a ford focus 2.0 duratec 2009), both are the same platform. Is It possible, like plug n play or does it need complex adjustment? Hope you can give some hint, and congrats for your work
I have a Volvo S40N 1.8 2006 which has a MTX75 5 speed manual gearbox. Sometimes I physically can't put in 3rd gear and 2nd.. fells like linkage or something needs a little adjustment. To get 3rd and 2nd I need to put it in center and then engage them again :) but this is sometimes. No grinding. Just feels blocked. I don't remember exactly which gears if there are any more.. might be 1st and 3rd.. Bad explanation but. Replacing oil? As far as I know it hasn't been replaced since I bought it nearly new 2007. 17.700km roughly. Seems to be an easy procedure? Maybe replace brake fluid can improve? Since the bearing are hydraulic assisted Any thoughts?
Hello, I have a 1997 mondeo euro Ford with mtx75 Manuel transmission. My problem is front left wheel has a gap about 4cm. I have changed left and right axles completely with new ones but no solution, I have also changed clutch kit completely but no solution. Does differential unit have gap problem? What do you think?😢
Great video! 👍

Can you do a video on how to break down the input and output shafts respectively?
Awesome video. Just picked up an 05 Focus I suspect shift linkage pin to be broken bcs it’s stuck in reverse.

@@davidpatience4682 Thanks! My mounts are all of the aftermarket stiff polyurethane type, so that probably explains much.
Great video! Thanks a lot. I didn’t get the edit of 2-3 and 3-4 synchros. Can you clarify?

Is the bell housing bolt pattern the same for all Focus from 2006 to 2018?
