Research notes

Caveats and conflicts (5)
  • Infobox is generation-wide, not NA specific.
  • Row mixes several cars and markets; per-variant boxes not confirmed.
  • Standard Gear lists MTX75 for 2000-2014 Focus; MTX-75 article says 2000-2004 Focus with 2.0 Zetec / 2.3 Duratec used MTX-75, see next line.
  • 2005 ZX4 ST (2.3L) used MTX-75 per same article.
  • Sources conflict; iB5 inferred from 2000-07 NA cars.
