Hi All
My grandson has wrecked the syncro's on 1st and 2nd I'm in Melb and looking at "help yourself wreckers" for a donor gearbox Not finding much for "LV" 2009-2011 Are there earlier or later year Focus gearboxes I can use ?? I'm aware his Focus uses a 2.0 ltr Mazda engine So is the Mazda 5 speed an option Just worried the clutch input (shaft) maybe different between Ford Mazda Thanks in advance Rodo |

The 5 speed manual in LV Focus is a Getrag B5A transmission and unique in the same setup for LV Focus, ie you cannot use another B5A transmission from other makes and even Ford models.
You can get you a brand new one for around $3000. Can help with this if need be. |

You need 8M5R 7002 KC or 8M5R7002FF pending on your car. A VIN will confirm which one you need. The first part number is the one worth $3K new. |

Drained the oil mid week - too much brass / bronze in it for my liking
I found 3 transmissions first one $1100 another $900 another $600 I ended up at Harvey "pick a part" wrecker in Langwarrin South $180 with 30 day warranty - wacked it in and it's a winner Thanks all for your help and advise |
