OOD why are all the drag cars MTX trannys no they don't have to use their clutch to shift in a race car but that is cause of the straight cut gears most street driven cars have helical gears in them.... and about shift points if you set the car up right and know how to drive a car right you will know when to shift or have it set so you make power all the way to redline. it doesn't take me but a few runs through the gears after doing a new mod to know where my power band is. about your "loosing all your money" you know how much an ATX rebiuld runs if something where to happen to it???? around here about $3000 you know how much a clutch replacement for a MTX-75 tranny is about $1100.... in the MTX-75 with a LSD more than likley if something is gonna break in the tranny it will be the clutch wearing out... I know the escort MTX is not a MTX-75 and no clue if the ATX is the same as the contour's or not but if it is the same ATX good luck finding aftermarket parts for it cause there are non made for the CD4E


and what do Imports have to do with the MTX MTX trannys have been the choice of most racers going back to the original days of the ATX which would of been early 60's late 50's iirc.
