First, I tried to e-mail terry and his e-mail addy no longer works. Then, after looking on here for a bit a searching for an answer I would like to pose a question about a tranny swap, so, here it goes.

I have a 99 ATX Contour Zetec and my tranny recently messed up, I am wondering what it wou'd entail, or even if it's possible to swap out an ATX and put in the MTX-75 I know that if it's possible I would need:

1. MTX-75 tranny
2. pedal assembly
3. mtx flywheel
4. clutch
5. probably a new cv at least on the left side
6. all cables and linkages
7. shifter

I'm not sure if there are any electronics in a manual tranny or not so i'm not sure if i'd need the ecu from the other car or even if i would have to change over the entire wiring harness or just part of it.

I am looking at 1500 for a rebuilt tranny and am trying to find a different way around this and happened to think about a manual instead. If it's possible then I have another option but if not could it be explained why.

If you could help or at least shed light on this then it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
william
