Would an SVT Focus 6-speed fit in an SVT Contour? Would it survive if it did fit? Has anyone attempted this swap yet?

Not, the Zetec and Duratec have different bellhousing patterns. Originally posted by NVSVT:

Yes, the six speed is not an MTX 75 breed....its a Getrag brand so it would not work!!!!!
if your so intrested in that Contact Terry Haines at
seconline@ameritech.net
he imported the 6 speed Mondeo transmission, for use in out cars...get a price quote from him on how much it will cost to install it....considering no one outside of him has done it, hes the only place you can get it.
But for get the focus SVT....it WONT work...

On top of the fact that it's a weaker tranny than the MTX-75.

No it's not!
It's shorter because the Zetec it's attached to has a small powerband. It has to keep the engine on a high boil to achieve performance.
The broader the powerband the less reliant the engine is on the gear spacing.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

then how come the msp makes the same power and has the same G15M as the zx2 and can run .2-3 ahead of a svtF?
a zx2 will run even or pull on a svtF in 1st and 2nd gears the svt wont start to catch up till about 80mph.trust me I know a guy with a SVTF motor in his zx2 with the G15M tranny.
and i wouldnt call a 4.44:1 1st gear short
