you after the same performance gearbox wise as the Si box? if you dont mind then i'd say try and get an S2 box, if not go back to another Si box or have a look here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13462 FRST gearbox, not and S2 or an Si box but still a gearbox   i had a black diamond clutch, seem'd pretty good to me

does it? you sure its an Si box on there? si boxes usually top out at 120/125! 143 sounds more like a diesel box/S2 box to me

DERV Box - Good econemy in 5th. Daft top end. But still pretty damn nippy! FRST Box - Best of both RS1800 Box - Best of both ERST S2 Box - Apparently best box to use, specially as with its slip diff  Si Box - Acceloration over top end .... but TBH its too short for the 2.0ltr and the above should be used Clutches, they are all the same on escort/fiesta

Are rs1800 clutches not stronger than si ones? Because my old si went through clutches for sport and I only thought of it after, will121 will back me up  Emlyn |

All the same as far as I know. My si clutch was same as my diesel one.. and the one on the diesel one was an rs turbo one lol |

Personally I would find it easier to drop the whole lot out to do the gearbox and clutch. As I can see what I'm doing, and without being under the car at stupid angles with not much light I know its possible to do it with the engine in the car, but that would be awkward as hell (for me anyway, unless I had a good ramp to use) oh and yes, all them gearboxes will fit.. |
