davidian Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 you want to change to 4/5 on the floor or just want to change the box you got? sorry a little confused. if its a kent, 4 speed escort will bolt up as well as a sierra/cortina box, but not really shure how you'd go about butchering the floor for the gearstick etc...

peteretep Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 gt and gte's have different gearboxes again, stronger than escort ones and they bolt straight up. but a gearbox from a 2litre ohc wont bolt straight up, basically the same as putting in a 5speed, a bit of work required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
