i dont think so. the 6 speed is from a svt(zetec motor) and i dont know if they will just bolt up? i dont think so but wait for more answers.

 

No it won't...

 

Well, I'm sure it can be done. The 07 Focus still uses the MTX-75, correct? If so, that transaxle bolted to the D23 as well as the Zetec for the few years they coexisted. I imagine it would be pointlessly expensive and complex, but the links kinda work out in my head...

 

The MTX-75 has a removeable bellhousing. There are different bell housings for the Zetec and Duratec. The Getrag doesn't have a removable bellhousing IIRC, and can only be mounted to the Zetec block.

 

EgZ is correct the bellhousing is not a direct fit so it would cost much bucks and work to get to work for a car that would be better powered by a 5 speeds shorter gearing IMHO.

 

Mazda MazdaSpeed Mazda3 6 speed will work. Good luck with making custom axles though

 

If I remember correctly somebody did put the 6-speed on a non SVT zetec just prove it could be done, but it was very time consuming a laborsome, and I think there was a custom adapter plate involved.

 

Its a straight bolt-on operation, there was some slight tuning that needed to be done so the ECU would understand the signal coming from the 6 speed gearbox, but the Getrag will bolt right onto any Zetec because the SVT shared the same bellhousing pattern. You also had to swap out the shifter and the ends of the transmission wiring harness.

 

the mtx-75 is not a bad trans, just build it a little before you put it in

 

Darn, I really wish someone made a 6speed tranny for the duratec 23.
Hmm, here's a dumb question......

If the MTX-75 has a removable bell housing, is it possible to find another tranny with a removable bell housing?
I guess what I'm getting at is can you use the MTX-75 bell housing on another tranny that has a removable bell housing as well.

I know, I know it sounds stupid, I'm new to this stuff.
Maybe someone could shed some light on my ill-fated logic.

 

Not usually. First, the bell housing will have to bolt up to it. Then you might have to get a custom clutch if the input shaft is different. Then you have to worry if the half shaft's are compatible.

Transmissions aren't usually plug-and-play.

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Lol only in a perfect world would we have plug-in-play trannies.

 

hehe i got an evil thought now

 

hey i know this is an old thread, but could you put the transmission off a mazda 3 on the duratec

 

^
Yes, but as previously stated you'd pretty much have to make custom axles to get it to fit. And there's still the question of how the ECU would react...

 

ive been looking into it and if you have the 2006+ suspension the suspension and trans will swap over from a mazdaspeed3, might take a top hat swap on the struts but if you keep the hubs, axles, trans, etc from the ms3 itll bolt up to your focus. i believe if youre doing that swap anyway itll fit in both mk1 and mk1.5s
