Can anyone tell me whether ford's ctx transmission as fitted on Escorts was a full automatic or a semi, requiring gear changes but without a clutch.
Thanks, as always

hi there
don't think it had gears as such. if i remember correctly, it was all done with a belt. it increases in length for different speed, etc.
somethig like that, anyway.

It's a stepless transmission, similar in theory to Leyland's belt drive in the 1970's. Look on Google and you should find some info, I know it was popular in the Fiesta too

Theoretically as fast in reverse as forwards. Push to go, pull to reverse
