I flogged a 98 ZX2 as a work car for a few years. rust prevents its passing inspection so its time to scrap. 5 spd. with all options. still runs great and this was a fun, fast car. my question is are there any parts from this car useful for festiva upgrades that I might remove before I call the wrecker.

Did some research, looks like the motor and tranny are not compatible. I suspect the front brakes will not be either; by then Ford/Mazda had moved on to other designs.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

The tranny is a G series, if the engine will fit in a Festiva engine bay, then it's a possible swap
I personally want to get my hands on a ZX2 tranny because I want the internal gear set

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

I saw that the tranny was a G5, but still suspect that the motor won't just bolt up to an E or F tranny. Do you know whether it will or not?90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Tom, my KL won't bolt to an E or F trans either, it'll only bolt to the stock KL trans but because it's a G series, that's what makes it interchangeable

X2 I've also heard rumors of interchangeability of internals. I've been looking around for one at the yard to dissect and compare

^^the Zx2 internals won't swap into the B bell housing G series though.... The later G series (KL, Zetec, and the Kia sephia trans) had a thicker ring/pinion gear

What does Ford racing have? I'm sure it could still be useful to our G tranny's

I believe they offered a LSD at one time.
But I'm also thinking like it was for the MTX-75 and many of the Focus guys were calling those glass and switching in another Focus transmission into their SVT Focuses(?) (Foci?)
I'll have to go back and look and get all the details...but I'm pretty sure there was another option for the LSD.Last edited by Zanzer; 09-09-2013, 02:20 PM.
