The only way you can do it is if you found someone who can make you a different bellhousing to allow it to bolt up to the engine, since the SVT Zetec has a different bolt pattern than the Duratec. (which is assuming the bellhousing is separatable from the transmission on the Getrag).

In otherwords, its just better to spend the money on a set of 3.82 or 4.06 gears, and a LSD, and stick to the 5-speed.

teh 6speed in the svt (and mini S) is overrated, it is very very close, and doesn't work very well for highway cruising (70+)mph

While it was a marketing item, it does work well for where it was intended; on the road course.

Are you talking about the SVTF has a close ratio??? Friend had his SVTF going 147 in fourth or fifth gear... not to sure which one... either way he still had a gear or two to go.

 

[elliottcarlose]

mabye he is talking about the shifting pattern being close?

 

[Ripped_06_ST]

hopefully... lol

Thanks for the Help


I just ordered the
Duratec Lightweight Flywheel and the
CENTERFORCE Clutch Kit
From F2Focus

Any comments about these products

What Kind of gain do you think I’m going to see?

 

[smokethebear_280]

I dunno, but that's the clutch/flywheel combo I'm looking to get when my clutch goes out, so let us all know!!

 

[SkipStaa]

I'll Keep you Post the car is going to the shop tomorrow or Monday.

I'm Going to Try to get some header as well

but I don't like the fact that a lot of headers I see our rusted.

Any way to keep this from happening

 

[joshco84]

No, the top of fifth gear is near 140.

 

[Ripped_06_ST]

ok he was in a fifth gear then but he was going 147 in fifth gear with more to go in fifth.

 

[pspringe]

No, it will not go 147 in fifth, unless the rev limiter is raised.

 

[Ripped_06_ST]

true, his revv limiter is at something like 8200.

 

[pspringe]

I thought the oil pump can't take that many revs.

 

[Ripped_06_ST]

I think he has an aftermarket oil pump, he does have the jrsc.

 

[pspringe]

I didn't know there was one. Who makes it?

 

[Ripped_06_ST]

I dunno... here is the link to his car and profile.
