Mmt6 gearbox?

[Dziku]

Has any body did this?
Mmt6 from kuga ecoboos seems the best idea, with 6th sligthy longer than puma 5. and closer set for all gears.
But i dont know nothing about flywheel an clutch setup..
I think puma wheel must stay, as kuga dual mus is heavy as engine itself, but what about disc and pressure plate?
I will put that in my mk1 focus(still 1.4 for now), it should be fun...

Sounds like a lot of work and expense for...the fun of it?
I enjoy an ill-advised project as much as the next guy but...This one sounds like a bad idea. If you want a faster car, you could probably buy one cheaper (and faster) than this project would end up being in the long run.
Problems to solve:
-Sourcing the factory parts
-Fabricating custom parts to adapt everything
-Bell housing pattern likely different
-Engine output Shaft and Transmission input shaft lengths are likely different. Probably the diameters too.
-Shifter connections
-Will most likely have to mix and match clutch parts
-Physical space they take up is certainly different so relocations and "cut-and patch's" are likely
-Will need custom axles made
-The Axles may not even line-up with the Puma hubs so now your looking at relocating the entire drivetrain or coming up with some kind of U-joint contraption
-Are there any electronics that would need to be dealt with? Reverse indicators, speed sensors, etc.

As crazy as it may sound, you would probably have an easier time swapping in an entirely different drivetrain from a donor car than just trying to swap in a transmission.

Yes, you need it as the crankshaft position sensor uses it. The sensor reads from holes at back of flywheel

I realy like my focus

Problems to solve:
-Sourcing the factory parts
-Fabricating custom parts to adapt everything

So:

-Bell housing pattern likely different

1.5/1.6 ecoboost are based on sigma, bolt pattern is the same..

-Engine output Shaft and Transmission input shaft lengths are likely different. Probably the diameters too.

As above...

-Shifter connections

Probably end with Mk2 focus shifter al linkage

-Will most likely have to mix and match clutch parts

Zetec 1.8 pressure plate and organic/kevlar plate will do.

-Physical space they take up is certainly different so relocations and "cut-and patch's" are likely

That should'nt be a problem, mk1 alb mk2 engine bays are almost identical as width is in concern.

-Will need custom axles made

In mk2 focus mtx75 and mmt6 axles are the same, so i can use mk1 mtx75 axles, in worst scenario i will need to make axel mount on timing side.

-The Axles may not even line-up with the Puma hubs so now your looking at relocating the entire drivetrain or coming up with some kind of U-joint contraption

Again, i wrote that my car is focus, with puma engine swap in progres...

-Are there any electronics that would need to be dealt with? Reverse indicators, speed sensors, etc.

Reverse is not a problem, as for vss, it will need module(probably arduino based) to convert abs signal to vss signal as fords above 2004 dont use vss..

As crazy as it may sound, you would probably have an easier time swapping in an entirely different drivetrain from a donor car than just trying to swap in a transmission.

No, because i need light engine(got 1.7) with good gearbox(ib5 isn't one), and faily simply electronics, that combo does not exist in factory for car...

Flywheel will by puma, 1.4 may be too light, and i dont know it will accept 1.8 clutch.
Only major fabrication will be gearbox mount. Most parts are easy/cheap to find, biggest concern is diameter of ecoboost flywheel, when i use sigma wheel will the starter engage...

Sounds like you've already got all the answers...Go for it!
