Is it possible to bolt a 5-speed MTX III or MTX IV tranny from a tempo/topaz onto a 3.8 v6? The only thing I can think of that wouldn't work would be the flywheel and clutch, since the 3.8's never came in a front-drive layout with a 5-speed. But then, would a flywheel and clutch from a RWD 3.8, like out of a t-bird, work with a FWD trans? Everything else should theoretically work, with maybe a bit of cutting and bashing to fit. I don't even care which car the engine/tranny is in, tempo/topaz or taurus or even an escort (that'd be fun actually, a 3.8 v6 escort GT
Hold me back!
), I'm mostly concerned with whether the engine and tranny will mate up at this point. Thoughts, advice, anything? Much appreciated
