Are the axles shafts common between the two drivetrains? What about things like the front brakes? What about electronics? Will the 5-speed transmission plug into the existing ATX wiring? SOrry for all the questions guys, I'm just trying to get an idea of what I'm getting myself into before I actually go and start buying parts to convert my car to a 5 speed. 1990 Festiva - 13.3 @ 102mph with a 1.9 60' and 155whp. 1995 Contour GL 2.5L ATX 1998 Contour SE 2.5L ATX 1998 Contour SE 2.0L MTX

Mine was a pre 98 so you would need shifter cables, tower and stick instead of the rod shifter setup.

Cant that be a HUGE HUGE HUGE problem, because if i remember right, anything 1996 or oldre the auto trans is hooked up to the brakes, engine, so and so forth, making it Xtremely difficult to pull a switch. I cant be sure on the year but i imagine every manufactuer is different, but good luck. The "Bluer Tour" 1998.5 SVTour R.I.P. 2000 ATX Tour SE
