U pull R parts in MN wants 150$ if you pull it out. make sure you get one off a V6 because the bolt pattern on the zetec is not the same, even though its basically the same tranny.

I know someone is selling one for cheap. Could be brought to Terry for an inspection and replacement of worn parts. Otherwise you never know what you are getting. Swapping in a JY trans is plain idiotic unless you like pulling the trans a few times. How do you know if it has any grinding going into any of the gears until you go through the work of installing it? What is the condition of the diff. etc etc etc.

I guess you are right. I might as well remove it and rebuild it myself. I have been tinking with the idea of taking it out and putting in a LSD, and changing the CV joints and timeing chain while I am in there. I just havent gotten around to it.
The problem comes when I want to shift into third it usually grinds a bit. The more I push on the transmission, the worse it gets. Sometimes it does not do it, but that is becoming rarer and rarer.

I have a tranny from a '98 SVT for sale. Also has the 3rd gear grind but would be great to send to Terry.

And he was smart he'd get a used one and have it inspected and an LSD put in for a few hundred above that.

My brother just bought one from them and you can order it with LSD. Well worth it just to buy a new one. Trust me I have now replaced two transmissions and you do not want to go through that mess more then once if you don't have too. Just make sure that when you get the trans shipped to your house you check to make sure you actually have a V6 transaxle. The first one that showed up to my parents place for my brother was a 4 cylinder transaxle. CTAmotorsports may sell the transmissions, but they are built and shipped by an independent company in Florida.

Yea Terry Haines does the upgrades for them. He has a deal with BAT. As I first said and have said again and again the smartest way is to get a used trans and have Terry go through it. Replace worn parts and install an LSD.
