      Frestiva,

      I just got a Escort GT a couple weeks ago.

      It also has a bad 5 speed trans.

      But the engine I am told was complete redone in a local machine shop.

      Plan to swap this engine into a Festiva.

      This is like the 3rd Escort GT with a bad trans I have come by in the last year.

      Looking like these trans are not that great.

        I saw one on the side of the road today. Maybe it had a tranny problem too. It was a blue one and looked pretty clean. I bet the way people drive them has something to do with the tranny problem. So what trannys are you using for your swaps, the stock festiva tranny ?

              Freshtiva,

              Got a 5 speed trans from Chris when I picked up the B6T street racer car.

              Came out of a Capri XR2 turbo car.

              That will go in one of the BP swapped cars.

              The other two BP cars will have the stock Festiva trans.

                    G25MRs all have the same guts. So yes, you can swap cases/guts between cable and hydro G25s.

                    G15 is a different critter. No swappy partsies....

                      I cant even imagine what shipping cost from Canada would be on that. Bet it would be a lot. I think it was going to be like $200 to get a fender from Damnkid once. My zip is Missouri 64439

                            I figured it would have been only around $100 :lol:

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