WTB.. Still Looking
 

Still looking for a 93-96 Ford Escort, 2 dr. Stick shift..Needs to be complete , without engine locked up.
I'd prefer west of Mississippi and south of the road salt line, but will consider all.

Thanks in advance

Mark I have a 98 Mercury Mystique 2.5L v6 factory automatic. It is a Texas car and west of Mississippi. Motor has 126,XXX oil changed every 3000 miles no smoke no overheating. Have not looked it up in the guide but would make you a good deal. Clean title. New steering rack has been installed.

update: did not see a mercury in the guide..LOL

Thanks for the leads ,guys.
I have to say, I've had the worst luck in the world, trying to deal with people on F/B marketplace.. Sometimes they'll show a 98 style car and claim it's a 96. Then they say it's a stick shift, when the picture shows an automatic..or vice versa The biggest problem though, is they never get back to you !
I wish they'd just pay the 5 bucks and put them on Craigslist.
Keep 'em coming and we'll keep trying.

Re: WTB.. Still Looking
 

That's okay..
Maybe I should mention, I need the Ford 1.9 engine.
That one has the Mazda 1.8, on which there are no engine specs

Mark,

I'm curious about a couple of things if you don't mind answering some questions about this build.

1. Do you get out the die grinder and turn the transmission into a crash box, or do you have another method of achieving quick consistent shifts?

2. Given the distance from the shifter to the transmission, what do you use for a shifter and linkage that does nor deflect or bend under the pressure of competition?

Re: WTB.. Still Looking
 

Honestly ,I don't know yet. The old carb-ed Escort was a 4 speed with a cable clutch. The later hydraulic deal is causing me concern.

The first problem is not going into 5th instead of 3rd. I'll make a slotted gate, where you can still grab reverse in a hurry.
The 82 used stock gearboxes from the boneyard,...stock shifter too.
I normally use a T handle on regular stuff. I didn't want to be able to pull on it that hard. You have to shift FWD's differently than you would with a Super Shifter. More like driving the stock factory shifters in the 60's.
Never missed one with the 82, so we'll see.

Update : We found three cars on Offerup , in SoCal.
1, says he still has it but doesn't seem to want to converse in English.
2 and 3, No response..Ads have been up for months, and possibly not cancelled.
They could be in The Big House by now, for all I know.
I do know that O/U is just as bad as F/B.

We'll keep tryin' . Thanks

Re: WTB.. Still Looking
 

I get to So Cal a couple times a week or more = Let me know
if you need something inspected or even transported!

Re: WTB.. Still Looking
 

Thanks C/R and everybody who tried to help out.

I found one, and I started a build thread, if you're really bored
