6 speed retrofit into MSP?

[carbonkid]

Anyone ever tried this? Doubtful that the MS3 would fit (Getrag?)...but I am just brainstorming...

 

[ForceFed]

No.
That is all.

 

[Jboost]

would be kickass try to do it.
that is all.

i heard thast the zetec ford engine from the previous focus was very similar to the FS-DE..

since the focus SVT and normal focus share the same bloc, the trick would be to get a focus SVT 6 speed tranny... which is in fact the same tranny as the mini couper S

thats more plausible than the MZR tranny..

that is all

 

[carbonkid]

see...I bet this can be done...Now to keep an eye out for a 6 speed tranny...

Funny, I test drove an SVT Focus after owning my SVT Contour...great handling, but I am glad I opted for the t/c MSP

 

[carbonkid]

oh, I almost forgot: that is all.

 

[ForceFed]

Anything can be done for the right aount of money...This isnt worth it in any sense though.
It will cost more than the car is worth to do the swap..Literally.
That is all.

adapter plate, custom mounts for 6 speed, custom axles,
depending on your abilities this could be done fairly easy.

 

[Chicoloco]

ill say it!


That is all.

 

[mazda03maniac]

Were you on CEG?

 

[Smus]

No sir, that is all.

 

[carbonkid]

Yes, on contour.org, I was "JontourSVT". Just went in there, do not recognize ANY usernames any more! lol. That is all.

Smus, where in MN are you? I am from Burnsville. That is all.

 

[neox.286]

No.
That is all.

If you have something negative to say, don't say it...seriously man
That is all

I was just on their as well. I just recently linked to the non-fouler trick from here on their. My screen name is the same on both boards.

I'd say one of us should poke this idea to FOCUS , he seems to go the extra mile and go through with it.
But it might suck as he just got forged tranny and moving to SVT focus 6spd tranny might not convience him as much , IMO.

That's it all.

 

[neox.286]

Does the SVT tranny have a LSD in it? and is it stronger than the msp one? (heh)

that is all
(lol)

Don't know but then again it doesn't take much for a LSD to be stronger then the stock one on the MSP.

I think it is comparing stock SVT focus 6spd to MSP tranny (w/ weak LSD)
I have a friend that will beat the s*** out of it and it holds better bc if I do that to MSP I'd be out for a month untill i repare it (pissed).

As much as I know from him , SVT focus are two version , one made here and another made from germany (which is much stronger ).

then there is getting the stock speedo calibrated to the Transmission and splicing the reverse lamp switch to the 6
