Hi Andrew,
No, the Mk1 Mondeo 4x4 MTX75 gearbox (yes, they did make one, i own 2
off them).
I had to machine away some sections of the aluminium section of the
sump, build up others with weld and make a few new holes but the gearbox
does now mate with the engine and the transfer box fits on the back of
the engine (uses the same holes as the driveshaft support bracket on the
2wd engine.
That is as far as i got 5 years ago at which point i acquired a
girlfriend, sold my house, bought a new house and am still getting
things sorted.
Eventually, i will get back to the H4x4 project.
The current plan is to use the standard Mk3 Fiesta front suspension but
narrow the complete mondeo rear suspension for the rear.
The diff and the suspension all bolt to a subframe on the Mondeo.
The tunnel will have to be made a lot larger.

Hi Jim
I assume you have gone for Jaguar X Type 4x4 gearbox fitted to a Focus
st170 engine? I have often wondered if this engine and gearbox
combination would actually fit one another, but I assumed there must
be a good possibility because I think its essentially an MTX gearbox
and the st170 engine is a Zetec.
My H4 is currently fitted with a 1.6 Zetec engine and IB5 gearbox, but
I am going to change this for a 2.0 Zetec and an RS Turbo series 2
gearbox with an LSD, I don't think my insurers, or indeed me, would
be happy with anything more than this for my 18 year old son.
If we keep the H4 for a few years I would be tempted to go for a
turbocharged Zetec and a 4x4 set up, but I would have no idea how to
get the propshaft clearance, or deal with the rear suspension, diff
mounting etc!
Cheers
Andrew

Hi Jim
So if the gearbox from a st170 goes in could you not use the
engine as
well ? just a silly thought?.

Do you mean one from a Focus ST170 or one of the
later MTX75 gearboxes ?
The ST170 gearbox was made by Getrag, i have one i
took off a ST170
engine so i could made the engine to a MTX75 4x4
gearbox.
The ST170 gearbox is actually quite short as it's
got 3 shafts (with 3
gears on each) not the normal 2 (with 5 or 6 gears
on).
It should bolt onto the Zetec block with no
problems except some of the
lower gearbox to sump holes may not line up.
It will depend if it is a silver top or blacktop
Zetec, the blacktop
should match better.
It does use unique driveshaft splines and joints
so you will need to
get some custom driveshafts made.
And, of course you won't have the Mk2/3 Fiesta
type mounting locations
on the gearbox so those will need to replace.
Also, the gearchange is cable but as long as
you've got the matching
linkage it should be too bad.
I may put the one i have in the 2+2 at some point.

Anyone know if you can fit a six speed gearbox
in a saloon when you
convert to a Zetec 2.0l. Just thought I'd ask
as you never know...
