right basically have a 2.0 si 1.6 fiesta si gearbox on it...

both the clutch and the gearbox are on there way out...

im rather mechanically minded have done all the work on my fiesta myself but not this.

what gearbox do i go for?! what clutch?!

how hard is it to change these!!

on a tight ish budget

_________________

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

aslong as the cars still quick i dont mind ha

_________________

what would you prefer then, accelleration or top end?

I had a diesel gearbox on mine dude and was great for top end but id advise the si box for acceleration imo

_________________

the si one i have tops out at 143 i dont need thatt much speed

_________________

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

ok well i was told si but he said cosworth brakes and they were transit van haha so i have no idea... thats a sat nav and snooper speed average..went off speedo

_________________

imo sounds like you have a diesel box, if thats what your seeing on the GPS

i'd either do for another or if you can get an S2 box

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

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..
