So who all would be interested in a GB on the Lentech valve body? I sent them an email yesterday asking about it, so we'll see what they say.

[KrayzieFox]

I honestly doubt it.. but we'll see what they say.

EDIT: I got a response. 10 units will get us 10% off. Not bad actually.. that's about $40 in savings.
Sign up if you're interested.

the one you got is wrong, thats the escort one, you need the focus one it has a knob you turn, not switch, I dont know if they are the same think the escort trans is different.

just checked--its my fault the link is bad in the post a few pages back, links to the escort one, http://www.escortfocus.com/html/shift_improver1.html

Lets make sure and get this clear.

The 4F27E was used on 00+ Foci (Focuses?) and Mazda renamed it the FN4A-EL and used it in the Protege, Mazda3,and Mazda6. They're not identical, but pretty darn close.

The Escort is something completely different.

 

[bazooka joe]

he's right, and they're sending me out the new one once i return the escort one...

 

[xDJ DUBx]

That sucks but at least you found out!

 

[Valk]

kind of off topic; but what are the chances these trannies will work on a KL? if the 6 uses this tranny l am hopeful.

 

[Scorch03]

I would have to guess the chances are very low

 

[KrayzieFox]

As far as I know, our tranny bolts right up to the KL engine.. but I could be wrong. It's not really my area of expertise.

Sooooo........is anybody planning on using this AND the Lentech valve body upgrade?
