I found a manual transmission with 85k on it for 150$. Says it was tested and works well.
Ive always wnated to do a tranny swap.
When he says he has a manual tranny, is that all i need? Im sure theres like 100 other parts i need to do the swap as well correct?
Where can i go to learn all the peices im going to need in order to do a successful swap?
And then i have toms Tune, what kind of stuff will i have to do tune wise. Will i have to reset the Car and Transmission ECU codes? can tom do that with his tune?
Ive never read about transmissions and theres not a thread in here about how to do the swap so please help me out!
i just got an automatic focus with i bad tranny I would love to see soem pics on the swap, if its going to cost me $650 for a tranny might as well look into manual swap
I have a manual parts ZX3 and a few other manual swap parts in my room. I can sell you everything you would need minus the trans. Just hope the trans matches the cable and shifter.
Hello i am new here i already committed to my motor and trans swap now i am in a pickle so my car is a 01 zx3 auto and i just finished putting my 03 zx3 motor and manual trans in pedels and stifter mounted computer swaped ........now what do i do about the clutch pedel switch i don't have wires for it how do i bye past or do i need to swap all dash wires too plz help i am a bit over my head :/
Well car is done i moved every single wire from one to they other .....i do have a few issues to work out however i dont have a diagram for you i could use one myself lol this project was not fun
Ouch. I'm trying to avoid diving into the dash wiring too far. Only have the clutch switches to work out. From what I can determine one of the 2 switches is for the Cruise control and the other is the clutch position switch. I have a donor vehicle but would like wiring diagrams before I go further.
I agree i would wait for diagram however they changed the wiring on me on 2002.5 so it was just easier in my case to take all the interior out and swap it all dash wires were different along with fuse boxes and motor wiring harness
I just did the swap. Previously removed most of unnecessary wires other than what lets the car drive down the road. Had tune from tom but auto trans was continuously getting worse and rebuild didn't help. So got everything in and hooked up other than two plugs for auto gear change and one next to that. Now car will not power up. Does something need spliced together?
Figured it out. Something was up with one of my battery disconnect switches. Possibly some corrosion from sitting with it off for last month with all the rain we've had.
Yes got everything back together and running but clutch wouldn't disengage. Was not a bleeding issue as i did every possible bleeding technique and had other mechanic friends look at it. I have yet to get it back apart to see where issue is. The pressure plate was unusually difficult to put on. Was too tight for bolts to start. Bought clutch as a kit (exedy pro-kit) so it should be correct but apparently only one model number flywheel works with that disk and plate but exedy can't tell me why they would put wrong one in kit.
Hi guys, I’m new here I from to Brazil, I have a focus with auto gear, so I wanna change this, but I don’t know if it’s so hard. Someone’s could help me ?
Well, this may not be the best or easiest way to do the wiring change but it will get the job done. I'm going on memory and blueprints so I may make some mistakes. A few different circuits need to be modified. Namely, the starting, reverse light and speed sensor circuits. Start circuit mods...
Hello there, I do am new to this forum. But i too want to tackle the job of manual swapping a 2006 ford focus zx4, does anyone here have a list of the items i would need? I was able to snag a 12k mile mtx for 300$. I just have not found alot of info for the zx4. And want to make sure i get everything right, since i am assuming some parts will vary between the other models.
