I have been thinking of throwing in a 6 speed tranny in my 98 CSVT. Most people I talked to, even CSVT owners, all said that they never heard of anyone doing it. I am sure SOMEONE out there has done this. I did some research on the web (very difficult to do especially some foreign web pages) and ran into just a few talks about a kit that might be available, or the tranny itself in Europe, do to that the Contour is a Mondeo in Europe. Any thoughts on this subject?

Or about every 8th thread started in this forum, from now back to 2001. This question gets asked, literally every week. But thanks for asking, I was looking for a reason to pound my forehead into a shard corner, repeatedly.

by the way, Terry passes along this info:
...The Focus Getrag 6 speed is NOT the trans of choice for a 2.5/3.0 V6.The Mondy ST220 trans is the one,as used in the Noble,currently being modded for a Noble owner at HMS Inc...The Focus trans does not have the torque capacity for any V6,it's lower than a stoc MTX75 5 speed!
