Eurotiva BP/RT build

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

when my trans finally goes BOOM then i think ill get a kia trans... but im not to sure yet... i may just go and get a egt hydro trans and convert to hydro clutch cause im gonna have to do that with the kia trans anyways... has anyone ever stuck the kia trans in a festiva?

Might want to invest in a Mfactory LSD, it may not be a big help in the straight line launches, but the improved differential would possibly save you some transmissions. Nice so far. :-)

any benefit to running cable vs hydro except of course the installation process?
