Oh yeah we also don't have cars like the Mondeo over here in the states and I see plenty of builders taking the gear selector. LOL will I need to find a breakers yard's number that is willing to ship? you do have the mondeo over in the states but its called the contour, at a guess you'll need a 98 on tour linkage as they pre-98 would be rod shift and 98on are cable shift (the man to confirm this is terry haines on contour.org as he was one of the original engineers for the drivetrain design on the mondeo/contour) the IB5 gearbox is fitted to the focus with engines below 1.8L (ie: 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8) its also used on the uk fiesta and older escort and is compact in design the MTX75 is used on the 2.0 focus and all mondeo/contours with 5 speed boxes, the focus came with cable linkage on all but the mondeo/contour came with rod linkage pre-98 as said, its a stronger box than the IB5 but is also heavier and bigger the Focus ST170/SVT comes with the Getrag 6 speed (mtx285 i think) and poses its only problems with fitting but there are a few on here that have there is also the IB5+ which is a slightly stronger version of the IB5 but is also only available in the Duratec fitment and not the zetec fitment required (the proper Duratec engine is actually a mazda MZR engine and has a different bellhousing pattern to the ford engines) this is only really available fitted to the Fiesta ST150 2.0
