After somewhat extensive research, I wanted to check here to see if anyone else has any ideas about putting the GETRAG 6 speed from a focus svt into our cars. Seeing as the focus and cougar as well as many other FWD Ford products share the same transaxle I think this may be possible. The only problem I am seeing is if the input shaft and splines will match, I realize that it will for the 2.0 Zetec cougars/contours, but what about the 2.5/3.0 duratecs? I have been looking everywhere to find the spline sizes and tooth count for both cars and have found nothing. If anyone can give me some answers I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe this was brought up around the introduction of the focus svt and the final answer was the gearing was too close to make a noticeable difference in our car. IIRC.

Ok, I just stumbled out of bed for my morning fix of NECO, so I could be wrong here, but isn't the Getrag a "weaker" transmission than the MTX-75? Something about it has two somethings, where the MTX-75 only has one? I can't remember what those "somethings" are, but I'm pretty sure it is something along those lines as to why the Getrag = teh suck.

the MTX-75 is a getrag transmission.
But the focus did get stronger shift forks or revised in some manner...

IIRC the svt getrag has dual out put shafts and is weaker than out mtx. Focus has a different final drive and revised shift forks.
Better just to beef your mtx.

yeah i realized that after the whole dual input shafts....probably better just changing out the final drive
