Best Answer

Since most of the weight of the engine is supported by the transmission mounts, the engine has to be supported from the top while the transmission is dropped out the bottom. You have to take loose the crossmember, exhaust pipe, the half axles, and about 23 different things. Get a manual from Haynes at the parts store. It will pay for itself the first time you use it.

Will a 1999 Ford Escort transmission fit in a 2000 Ford Escort zx2?

Yes, Maybe, and Maybe. If you're trying to put an automatic transmission from a 1999 into an automatic 2000 escort, then YES If you're trying to put a manual transmission from a 1999 into a manual 2000 escort, then Maybe. Some escorts were equipped with cable operated clutches and others had hydraulic operated clutches. If you're trying to put an automatic transmission from a 1999 into a manual 2000 escort or vies versa, then MAYBE. Once you change out countless other parts from your donor car.

How much does it cost to replace a manual transmission in a 1999 ford escort LX?

About $2000 if you have a rebuilt put in. More if you have a new one put in. You can get a used one from the boneyard (salvage) for about $550 and it is about $500 labor to get it put in. If you are having problems with the manual transmission, take it to a shop to make sure it's not the clutch that has gone out. It won't be any more or less labor, though, because the transmission has to come out to replace the clutch.
