The LS-LV Focus XR5 M66 is as per the Volvo casing, but has shorter ratios.
The Volvo models share gear seats with Mondeo XR5.
Focus XR5 have closer ratio gears AND a lower ratio final drive. Definitely the better gearbox for performance use.
(Edit because I didn't even realise that there is such a thing as a Mondeo XR5)
