iB5 from a mk6 escort gti, with rear starter. Good ratios and the rear starter keeps it away from heat

You need the battery wiring to go with it but it's all plug and play. You will need to join 1 wire to your existing loom from the new one. You will need to use the rear starter too, the mount is different. Clutch cable yes!

You'll want a complete iB5 clutch. The release bearing is larger and has a flat bearing surface to interact with the rounded fingers of the iB5 clutch cover. Some people do it, but I don't recommend using an iB5 bearing on a BC clutch cover with flat fingers.

Re: Which ib5 gearbox
So best to use a complete ib5 clutch then there is a few threads saying use just the release bearing but gonna fit a new clutch anyway so I'll just get a ib5 clutch and use that any recommendations for a clutch to take some stick?
