How come you want to switch to an aspire tranny? If you want to "upgrade" why not a beefier tranny?
1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor
1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)
If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be? -
It can be done yes , but wow that's a fun ride . If your racing the car the torque steer will be a problem . If its just a show go fast car then you will be fine with it and its a lot less work . Although you will need a heavy clutch to hold the b6t . The aspire trans is lower gear and is great for sport driving and mt terrain depending on your area ,I prefer it over the stock trans .New build on the way .Comment

Recently saw a post where i believe neanderpaul said there geared shorter and tend to brake more often, maybe someone else can chime in and give you some proven combo's but i dont think it will last long paired to a B6T anyways. you could stuff it in to get you by but eventually you'll have to upgrade, (unless you like changing transmissions and babying your car.) if charlie1717 does a couple 2-3-4 gear pulls in his BP car the clutch starts slipping pretty easily so id imagine that a B6T would probably explode the baby clutch of the E-series in no time.1992 white L, Bp, American racing 13's, stock trans.
1991 White L, BP/F5MR, protege header, full aspire swap with gr2's, seats, and sway bar, 15" konig's, short throw, escort console.
1991 blue L, 5 speed.
1988 red L-plus-all stock.Comment

It will be under clutched...even at 110 hp! If you clutch up, then you'd have to worry about the tiny spider gears after that.97 Aspire w/K03 turbocharged b6 SOHC

Look around for a KIA Rio . 2001 2002 . That's a cheap easy trans upgrade .
On my first b6t car ,torque steer was the only problem . Like I said what are you going to do with the car ? If its just some sport driving and a race every once in awhile ,upgrade the clutch and you will be okay .New build on the way .Comment

With My bp I had my stock tranny with a stage two clutch, clutch never slipped but after a month (no launching) my tranny was starting to develop quite a few shavings in it.:cry_smile: RIP. 91 Ford festiva BP swap

You will need flywheel to the wheels from the Rio . Usually for the price of a upgrade clutch you can have all this stuff off a Rio .New build on the way .Comment
