With the 2002 SVT Focus coming out with a Getrag 6-speed manual attached to the Zetec, I wanted to know if we would be able to shoehorn that gearbox into our 'tours with Duratec engines and MTX's. I like my MTX--it's far more forgiving than the Mazda 5-speed in my '94 Probe (I can turn corners in 4th with the 'tour, as opposed to 2nd in the Probe). But, like the Probe, my 'tour feels like it wants a sixth gear, especially on the highway. So, I wanted to know: Could the Getrag be made to work? Exactly how much modification would be required? Bellhousings, clutches, flywheels, shift cables, driveaxles, the list goes on. Certainly SOME of these parts bolt straight up. Of course, those with Zetec engines would have an easier time of it.
