Thanks, I've never fully been able to grasp how these things worked until now. It's actually fairly simple when you put it like this. I'd often wondered why the wheels would drag like that if you jacked the car up and started the engine in neutral.
Thank you for making this video series, Mr. patience. I accidentally deleted a much more in-depth explanation of my MTX75 in my ‘07 focus zx3 hatchback. I think I know what is wrong with my xmsn now. There is a grinding sound above 3k rpm’s as I shift into 4th gear. So, now I shift under 3k rpm’s. I bought this car last September (2021) with 159k miles on the odometer.
I came here by chance and I'm glad I did. Very informative and detailed video! 👍 Now I just might have a go on rebuilding my MTX75 transmission for my Ford Focus 2009. 😊
@@kusamagaming7375 hi mate, I am yet to take it apart. Still sorting vibrations at high speed so just changed driveshafts yesterday, but feel I may try new tyres now, as balancing didn't help either. Do ask me again in a couple of months. I've put second hand gearbox in mine for now and although its better its not perfect either.. still bit notchy but only in first ratio and not all the time..
Thank you for this video! A question for you as you seem to know a great deal about these transmissions. What are the differences in the subvariations of the mtx75? ie the difference between a 2s4r and a ys4r? Can they be interchanged with each other?
When you spin it in neutral the differential also moved. I noticed while my car was in the air with the engine on, in neutral, the wheels started spinning a little, I could stop them by hand but if I gave them a little push they kept on rolling. Also the revs drop giving the feel that the engine is being killed while stopping at red lights. Is it getting stuck in gear just a tiny bit? How is this possible?

That's a fast ohv Ford focus. 😸
And it has a 2 barrel motorcraft. (Tim Allen grunts)

How do you get the gears off to get to the synchros to replace them
You have to press the bearings off the end of the shaft, which typically requires bearing replacement.
