lsd box from a series two would be good, but you can always buy or modify a normal ib5 gearbox, install an lsd etc and you can install a puma gear linkage which will act as a short shifter!! |

if as by the title 'gear nob like a stick in a bucket' its more likely the gear leaver linkage than the actual gearbox problem |

i think if you wanna make it drive better then stick an ib5 gearbox on from a zetec engine'd escort where the starter motor is at the back therefore you an fit a nice four branch manifold on with ease without affecting heat soak to the starter motor, and also fit a puma 1.7 gear linkage so you get a shorter gear change!! |

sounds like the linkage is buggered, buy a low milage second hand one or fit a new one if they're still made, if your doing the 2.0litre conversion, are you replacing the ecu??, if so what code is it?? could be intrested |
