  • I'm not 100% sure on this,but Even thou the tyranny in the zx2 is a G-series i don't think the cases are the same. when i had my Z i broke the trans and went looking for a replacement. In my searches i think a ran across some info that trannys were internally the same but the case and bell housing were different. You may be able to swap the bell housing but you would need a doner G-series with with the right pattern...and if you had that you wouldn't need zx2 trans lol.

      I have been researching this and have had a few different G series trannies apart to know the differences, the ZX2's and Probe GT tranny internals will interchange no problems, the probe and ZX2's have a thicker ring gear (as seen here) then the Escort GT's/323 GT/Capri XR2's so the secondary gear shafts will not interchange between the ZX2's/probe and the EGT's/323 GT BUT the diff's will interchange between any of them with a simple ring gear swap

      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?

          • What's the difference between egt and xr2 calipers?

            And where'd you get those nifty rotors?

            And. .. you've seriously been driving that thing with festy brakes?!?!?!

                EGT's are a slight bit larger for more stopping power. Got the rotors off ebay as a kit with pads. Buy it now was $75. Cost $100 after shipping.

                I knew someone would ask if I was running those brakes. I actually took my knuckles off to sell to a member in need and made myself upgrade. My old brakes were a couple months old with pressed in studs.

                • Have you read about the galant upgrade for capri brakes? It puts the hub behind the rotor. When my rotors/pads are done for I will probably do that.

                    I've read about that. I just wonder what good it does? I know most newer cars have it there.

                    I kinda like as much weight as far forward as possible.

                    • Hub behind rotor = not having to take the whole front end apart to change rotor. Like the aspires.

                      Theyre also much beefier rotors.

                        BTW Greg, after we talked this afternoon I just had to run out and check that my 14" AR rims cleared the pair of Capri XR2 knuckles/rotors/calipers I just got. They do; even the stick-on wheel weights are no problem.

                          • Many Xr2's had 14" wheels. 92-93 had my 3 spoke 15's and 94 had the nice 7 spoke 15's.

                              Yeah, I'm not surprised. But in my experience, not all wheels are created equal. On the 323 for example, I found that some 13s would fit on the front, and some not, due to the caliper. I figured the ARs would be no prob because they are aftermarket, therefore designed to fit on as many cars as possible; but I couldn't be sure without checking.

                              • Update...

                                Well today wasn't a great day....................

                                Left work on my lunch break, had TominMO on the phone, when I noticed a guy from work , behind me.

                                He happens to drive a '98 mustang gt......You all know where this is going..........

                                Well I cut my conversation with Tom short, and proceeded to make sure I got caught at a light with this guy. And of course I did.

                                I ended up right behind him at a light, and he started rev'n .........

                                So the light turns green and he takes off, so I take off at the same time. As soon as I got into second, I changed lanes and went right around him. Then when I shifted into third, my car bogged a little, so I let out of it, and checked my gauges......

                                NO OIL PRESSURE !!!!! (oil light on, and gauge reading 0 )

                                I immediately pulled over and started checking everything. Oil on the dipstick, no metal shavings, proper level.

                                So I reached in and removed the oil filter, and started the car (immediately turned it back off) nothing came out.

                                So I called my wife, and she came and pulled me home. As soon as I got off of work, I pulled the oil pan off (hoping the pickup fell off) and everything looks normal.

                                Now I get to pull my motor and figure this out.........

                                Stinks because I was planning on going to try out for Pass Time this friday. And FM4 is just around the corner.

                                Oh well.................
