Best transmission for my swap?
Should I use the stock transmission that came with the dohc protege motor OR should I use the Ford Escort GT transmission?
I heard the Escort GT Transmission is stronger... Any ideas? |
Welcome Lyra
They have the same, engine, same transmission, same suspension. 91-96 EGT 90-94 Protege LX |
I don't know the actual difference between them, but I know from experience that the LX tranny seems to be a whole lot better than the DX!
|
pretty sure it's just case and gears, DX is slightly taller.
|
I think it goes like this, but I might be wrong....
SOHC - F series tranny DOHC - G series tranny G is the stronger of the two. They come in LX's, EGT's and basically anything with the DOHC BP. Hope that helps!!! Merry X-Mas!!! |

very true, they have differently tuned parts, but the parts themselves will fit both the EGT and ProLX.
my bad, i should have added "basically the same"... |
UH?
So am I curious about this but I did not see any alternatives to the LX tranny.Is there or is there not a better or maybe stronger lower geared one out there.
|
Not many Choices The strongest ive heard of is the G series (lx Dohc motor tranny). Which Should hold 300 hp . Level 10 Also told me that they could give me a beefed up Automatic transmission that would hold close to 700 hp. But i dont want a Automatic. im sure u can run 400 hp in the transmission if u know how to drive it . But ur really pushing it and will prob blow it up . Jon 93 lx

I heard the Pro Lx's and the EGTS have different gearing ? Would anybody be able to whip up a list of Available trannies for the BP's ? KL's ? B6's ?

ya but the engines aren't 100% identical are they ? Aren't pro's rated at 125hp where EGTs are 127hp... ? My source is edmunds.com. So who says the tranies are also ? Small differences are possible.
