The big answer is most likely. However there is a long list of things that also must be replaced also. You will need a manual transmission starter, new transaxels, mounts, clutch, flywheel, etc. Check out Fordaspire.com
Yes, although the gear ratios are slightly different.

The ECU for an automatic can be used in a manual transmission. However, it will not work vice-versa with the ECU from a manual transmission in an automatic.
the motors are the same swap out the distributor the intake belt pulleys and altinator
Yes, but removing the rear spindle is a lot of work and may require power tools or a press. A better alternative and a common modification for a Festiva is to swap the front hubs and rear end from an Aspire to a Festiva. This allows you much larger brakes, removable disc brakes up front, a rear torsion bar for much better handling. Some would say the swap is almost required as the Festiva stock brakes and suspension is horrible.

It has been done. I believe a couple of the bolt holes don't line up bit it does work. The final drive is shorter so power will improve but mpg will decrease. For a more thorough answer sign up for free at fordfestiva.com. Neanderpaul
yes
The spindle from an Aspire may not be directly compatible with a 1992 Ford Festiva, as the two models, while related, have different designs and specifications. It's important to check the part numbers and dimensions to determine compatibility. Additionally, modifications may be required for proper fitment. For the best results, consult a mechanic or parts specialist familiar with both vehicles.
ATF will work. (automatic Transmission Fluid)
4L60E transmission and that is the ONLY 1 that will work.
Dextron/Mercon III will work for that transmission
