Has anybody installed a G Series Auto tranny (auto tranny from an Escort GT) into a Festiva with a BP 1.8 DOHC engine? I got one of those Auto Transmissions laying around and want to use it when I get another Auto Festiva and BP 1.8 DOHC engine

It's actually an F series trans, and as far as I know nobody has done it. Mainly because most people don't care for autos. Second, probably, because they're electronically controlled and would have to be wired up somehow.
I think the easiest way would be a full harness swap from the EGT.
Being an F series trans, stock auto festy axles should work.91GL BP/F3A with boost

the GT ATX was beefed up over the regular 4EAT but it sure was a performance buzzkill in an LXe i had.Comment

Shadetree had a Kia Rio ATX mounted in a festy once. Same trans. The wiring is what stopped him. Like I said, full harness swap. Or standalone controller.91GL BP/F3A with boost

Looks like the early cars had a separate control module for the trans.

Yes and I got that Kia trans from Shadetree, it has a TCM. But as far as I know it communicates with the ECU.91GL BP/F3A with boost
