Ford Fiesta / Figo 1.4 TDCi 5-Speed Manual Transmission for Sale — South Africa

Ford's 1.4 TDCi is the small Duratorq diesel developed with PSA, a 1,399 cc four-cylinder that made 50 kW and 160 Nm in its common European tune. In South Africa it showed up in the Fiesta, in the first-generation Figo, where Ford fitted five-speed manuals across the range, and in the Bantam bakkie from 2009. This used five-speed manual is listed from a 1.4 TDCi Ford.

The 1.4 TDCi was bought by people who wanted low running costs, and plenty of these cars have done big mileage on commutes and small-business work. That torque at low revs is kind to fuel but hard on clutches and dual-mass flywheels where fitted, and over time on gearbox bearings and synchros.

Things to look at when replacing a gearbox: noisy bearings, crunching between gears, leaks from driveshaft seals and worn shift cables or selector parts. Because Ford used this engine across several models and gearbox versions, the gearbox code and your VIN are what decide fitment, not just the engine size. WhatsApp them to us and we will check.

Workshops like a straight used swap on these cars because it is quick, keeps costs proportional to the value of the vehicle and gets an economical runabout working again.
