As time goes on our sources for cable G25m-r transmissions are getting harder to find and more expensive as the need grows for them. What i am working on is a conversion plate and cable which will allow you to use the later g15m-R hydraulic transmisons which are more redily avilable.
The G15m-r can be found in such donor cars as Escort Gt, Mercury Tracer LTZ and 1995-1997 Kia Sephia there maybe some other cars to but i cant recall. The g15m-r comes off the Mazda bp engine and will also bolt to a b6 engine. The housing are known to have more casting material in the transmission webbing which is to give it extra strength as well.
the plates will be offered exclusively through The Festiva Store hopefull early April. What i need is some feedback from you guys.
First off how many people would be interested in this? the plates are being CNC plasma cut the more volume we buy the better the cost we can get.
second thing is how should we offer this upgrade. In order to make a complete bolt on kit I would need to source Mustang clutch cables as well as stock festiva clutch cables in order to hybrid the two cables to make 1 complete cable. Sourcing the 2 cables and labor envolved with making the cable is going to drive the cost up. So what im purposing since you have your own cable we can give you the source to order the mustang cable and I will make a instructional video on how to make the cable your self. It's pretty simple you are just shortning the mustang cable using the end piece of your festiva cable and pressing a alumium lug on the end of the cable using a vise or a crimping tool.
Some people have asked about pedal feel. The pedal feel as far as how much effort it will take to push on the pedal will be based on which type of pressure plate you are running. If your using a OEM or stage 1 clutch its not going to be as heavy as if you where using a stage 3 clutch with a heavier pressure plate.
the plates are made from 3/16 plate steel and will most likely be powder coated. The plate is very strong and is supported by 2 of the transmission casing bolts allong with a 3rd bolt which is pivoting off the transmission casing. This similar set up was used in the Festicul with a Kia Sephia transmission,b6t engine and a stage 3 ebay clutch.
