If Hector wants a 5 speed, look on Ebay and get one cheap, then transfer mods, sell the 2000 with the stock parts.
Too much work. 
Lazy!!

I changed my mind, I will save $$ for either a Mazda 6, Mazda 3, or 2005 Focus with the new 2.3L Duratec 4. [Zetec's are history.]
And if you Zetecers get mad, so be it. That's the car biz, designs come and go. Are you still going to have the same car 20 years from now?

Hey what about a madzaspeed protege? I would consider one of them over the others you just mentioned. How fun would a stock turbo motor be????????????

Not only will I still have it, but I'll probably still be paying on it!

"Zetecs rule. 20 yrs from now the Duratec will be gone."
So will lots of other new cars, I don't care. I'll move on to next thing. If I stuck with the same car forever, I'd still have my '81 Dodge Colt. 0-60 in 12 sec, wow! But did 50 mpg on a good day.
MazdaSpeeds are nice, but real expensive and hard to find. Some are orange too. :P
