Dogbert62 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 All, I miss manual transmissions... I am guessing all of the infrastructure is in place to swap the transmission from automatic to manual.. given the concerns regarding the longevity of the automatic, I thought I’d consider a manual if my tranny goes south... Thoughts? Dogbert62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKiZo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Check this out ... looks like it would be a fairly simple swap ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtn Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I wonder if any of Gen2 conversions have worked out. There have been couple in this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i86hotdogs Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It seems very doable. The TC could have been optioned with the same ecoboost engine as the Fiesta ST. So swapping that manual transmission seems feasible. It's on my "if I ever fall in to a pit of money" list. I even have bigger dreams of swapping the Focus RS powertrain in to the van as well. I have very expensive aspirations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. All of those builds looked good until they stopped posting updates. I wonder how much money went into those projects. jrm223 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
