Why? For that bling bling factor

You would effectively be shortening your powerband and require a lot more shifting. Both will slow you down.

The high strung, peaky SVT Focus needs the 6-speed to keep it on a boil (and it's still slow, but that's another story)
The Duratec has a much broader powerband.

The MTX-75 is a very well chosen, close ratio 5-speed. The stock diff is tougher than most people give it credit for, but yes is the only weak link.

Putting in an LSD in a simple fix. Not to mention you could do a clutch, flywheel, LSD, and labor for much less than financing a 6-speed setup just to say you have that "Bling, Bling"

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
