I was looking through our source of parts here on CEG and the only places that have them are CTA and SP-motorsports(euro-spec) for around $900.
-Has any one used one of the Euro-spec MTX-75's yet, is it any better???
-Anyone know of a better source than these two options?
-is there any other way to support the engine other than a cherry picker when dropping the subframe?
Would you be interested in a fully built transmission with Torsen LSD and upgraded sychros and a Focus Shift tower? If so send me a PM. The tranny only has 900miles on it.

Pretty hard top slide the trans out from under the car with that device. I've seen it used in an SHO trans removal video but I don't think it can be use for a Tour. At least not making removal very easy. If the engine is in it's upright position sliding the trans out straight would enable it to hit the inner fender. Someone said they were able to work in there w/o dropping the SF last week or so. It wouldn't be very fun at and he even admitted that it wasn't.
Yeah, but he's already talking about dropping the subframe.
My guess is he plans to support the engine, drop the S.F. and pull the tranny out of the bottom at an angle once the SF is out of the way.
That's what I would so anyway and I've seen it done on these cars more than once now too.
Thanks for the info guys, but I said F... it and I'm gonna have the guys over at ADC do it for me. I talked to Keith over there and he quoted me a pretty good price for the tranny swap.. I would've rather don it myself but I just don't really have the room/time/equip. to do so.
Thanks again
well wait, are you looking to replace your BROKEN tranny? or you want the newer mtx75? A used one you can find for as cheap as $60 (with low mileage), for one of the new ones try Terry Haines.
Where you can you find a used one for that cheap, a junkyard?
It isn't that much money. You can always upgrade and get a HMS trans...and since torsens are unavailable at the time, you'd need a quaife lsd, which would bring the price to about...2k.
I've heard 1. But yea, make sure its the right trans...hehe.
I just ordered the Euro-Spec from SP. All the fun is had when dropping the old and putting in the new right?
