Contour Man

terry i meant to edit that out, It would neeed a custom clutch disc, Also can anybody give me the measurement of how deep the mtx trans bell housing is? I need a really close number

terry do you think it would be possible to keep the factory flexplate, clutch, pressure plate assembly, and bellhousing if i made a custom bracket to mate the t-5 transmission? And then just get a custom friction disc and pilot bearing to match?

why can't anything be easy damnit

hmm its still a possibility though could a bellhousing from the mtx75 that mates to the 2.0 bolt onto the jags?

Damn I was hoping it would mate up to the 2.0, I am still deciding whether awd or rwd is best for me

So everybody I've done more research on this topic, and now I'm hearing stuff such as a jaguar x type mtx75 awd trany might bolt right onto this motor. Anybody know if this is true? I mean i know a lot would have to change but if it bolts on then I can fab mounts and such

Oh ok I see what you did, What kind of stock were you using, and what else needs to be done?

@ianmcc thanks that seems to be what i was looking for, can you post pictures of what yours looks like?

Yes, I will be rotating the engine, I was curious if there might have been anything in the local junkyard I could use though

Does anybody know of a rwd manual transmission and bellhousing that will bolt right onto the zetec? This will not be going in a contour, however I wasn't sure were to post this.

terry after digging into it, it seems the chain tensioner has failed, allowing the chain to smack everything. Looks like i need a new car for now

I'm getting a rattling sound coming from cylinder 4 and the front of the engine, could this be my chain? The car has 124000 miles on it

That wasn't easy to do either..

damn, have you seen this happen before terry? It looks like a previous owner was in a hurry to go in reverse.

wow dude your's looks the same as mine. the one bolt completely rusted through and the trans now has a ton of corrosion in that area. Terry can this be replaced easily?
