The MT75, 5 speed gearbox was designed by Ford to replace the T5. It is a rear wheel drive (rwd) 5 speed gearbox that has synchromesh on all gears including reverse, meaning reverse can be selected whilst the car is travelling forward up to 25mph. The MT75 comes in many guises. There are a bewildering array of bellhousing configurations, main shaft lengths, clutchs / flywheels, gear ratio sets, gear-level positions, propshaft fitments and even two different 4x4 versions. Although only rated by Ford at 220Nm (torque) many have been used in Kit Cars and Hot Rods with substantially more.

The gearbox casing is all aluminium and due to the integral bellhousing, swapping gearboxes between different models with different engines can be a very complex and involved job best left to the professionals. Certainly not a 30 minute, quick 'in and out' job. Even the 2.0 pinto and the 2.0 Cosworth (essentially the same block) have different bellhousing patterns. Often, getting a gearbox to bolt up and work may require several donor gearboxes to be dismantled for parts. Most swaps can be done, but as parts are getting more rare and expensive, 'patience' might also be on your shopping list.
