I have a 2000 Cougar V6 and I want to buy this 2000 Focus Transmission for the 4.10 final....to install the Torsen etc etc. Now I know the bellhousings are different, but can I take the bellhousing off of the tranny from the Duratec and bolt it up to the zetec transmission body with the duratec input shaft? Will this work? Please let me know, I'd really appreciate the help. --Adam

Will this work? 1. Well for starters you have incorrect information. V6 MTX = 4.06 I4 MTX = 3.84 2. Technically yes the halves will match, but it's not as simple a just swapping the input shaft. For starters you will need to swap out the front seal, races & a bushing as well. I don't recall if the races require shimming but likely they will as everything has a specific clearance spec. The MTX guru is Terry. You should try him at Fordcontour.org 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Forgive me for my ignorance with the MTX75 :shrug: Then I'll look for a spare MTX75 from a Duratec and send the innards from that off to be cryo'd and I'll install the Torsen and hopefully be done with the tranmission for a little while. --Adam
