Russats Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 I've had my gearbox looked at an apparently it's screwed. I'm looking to put another used one in it. It's a TDDi with the 6 speed in it, are there many variations of the 6 speed. Also I was told the Mondeo TDCi 6 speed gearbox is the same, anyone know of this is true? Also I'm in North London looking for the gearbox of anyone knows of any? Quote
chromedome Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Assuming your Galaxy is a Mk2 the TDI engine is a VW unit. I believe the engine in the Mondeo is a Ford unit. So I would check very carefully about the compatibility of the gearbox. Some one else on the forum will probably know more than me. Quote
Russats Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks, hopefully I'll get it all cleared up soon! Quote
insanitybeard Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 They might both be 6 speed manuals but that's about all they have in common. As Chromedome says, the 'MT350' 6 speed manual used in the Mk2 Galaxy is a VW manufactured unit, the (MMT6?) used in the Mondeo is a Ford (or at least Ford sourced) unit. The driveshaft arrangement is completely different, the selector setup is likely to be different as are the bolt holes, mountings, depth/size of bell housing, gear ratios etc. In short, although somebody may be able to debunk some of what I've written, try fitting a Ford 'box at your peril.

Russats Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 So an MT350 I need to look for?? I thought some were Ford some are VW with the gearboxes in Galaxy's? Quote
BrianH Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 The manual 5 speed is a modified/adapted version of the Ford mtx-75 (badged as a ctx-75 i think). 6 speeds are vw based as are the auto boxes i think. Quote
insanitybeard Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 The 6 speed manual used in the Mk2 is a VW unit, the 'MT350' is just Ford's designation for it, I'm not sure if VW also use the same designation or a different one. As Brian says, the 5 speed manual (VXT75) is a modified version of Ford's MTX75 gearbox, on the Mk2 it was only coupled with the 2.3 petrol engine, which is also a Ford unit (the only Ford engine used in the Mk2, unless you include the 2.0 litre petrol, but I've never seen a 2 litre petrol Mk2 Galaxy- at least, not in the UK!).
