The MT75 is a rear wheel drive gearbox made by the Ford Motor Company.
It has five speeds and reverse. This was the first production gearbox to have a synchromesh on reverse (so reverse can be selected at up to 25 mph).
Used in the Sierra and Granada, it came in various flavours for each engine and was used in two wheel drive and four wheel drive versions (four wheel drive in the 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth and XR4x4). This transmission, like the Type 9, is already used in uprated classic cars and hot rods, especially if a Ford Pinto engine, a multi valve 4-cylinder or Rover V8 engine is used.
It should not be confused with the (MTX-75) which is a completely different gearbox for front wheel drive models such as the Mondeo, Escort MK5 RS2000, Focus and other popular front wheel drive models.
