Ford Puma 1.7 Zetec SE onto MT75 - DuttonOwners2024-03-29T12:10:02Zhttp://duttonowners.ning.com/forum/topics/ford-puma-1-7-zetec-se-onto-mt75?commentId=2398922%3AComment%3A240960&feed=yes&xn_auth=noHey Vern, sorry for dragging…tag:duttonowners.ning.com,2019-02-25:2398922:Comment:2483882019-02-25T19:23:10.364ZRoy Kemphttp://duttonowners.ning.com/profile/RoyKemp

On the Puma box, there is a main selector rod with a detent, but this also works a pivot…</p>
<p>Hey Vern, sorry for dragging up some an old post, but just a quick question. What was so "upgraded" about this ib5 in the Puma?<br/><br/>I'm trying to get one to fit in my RST but its just different enough to the Focus box to be a problem. Beyond the bolt pattern and the cable vs rod shift, I've noticed one major difference. On the Focus box there is only one gear selector rod, and hence only one detent. On the Puma box, there is a main selector rod with a detent, but this also works a pivot mechanism which operates a dedicated 5th gear selector shaft with its own detent.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's this 5th gear shaft (part of the 5th gear housing) that sits where the chassis rail is on the RST.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm wondering if I can take the Puma ib5 casing, strip it all out, and rebuild it with Focus internals, converting to cable-shift, using the single change rod and using the Focus 5th gear housing that doesn't have the awkward bit.</p>

<p>i have both the mondeo and focus 1.8 zetecs.... the focus zetec i have fitted with the ford PATS system reused. it went very well 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds. the focus was an easy fit. the focus is a different ecu from the mondeo and the engine has different engine sensors.. also the clutch friction plates are different BUT the pressure plates are the same.... even though the friction plates are very different in size. the mondeo clutch is a fit onto the ford RWD boxes the focus friction…</p>

<p>Cheers Dave - all very good points. Might switch the search to an 1800. Much to choose between silvertop and blacktop, other than PATS, etc?</p>

<p>Not without a special bellhousing. The Zetec SE (Sigma) has a unique bellhousing pattern designed to go with the IB5 upgrade transmission.</p>

That's to fit the Type 9 / Rocket boxes, guessing the MT75 would be different, no?
