Not exactly scientific, but at least a positive basis for which to start testing.. good input.

BTW, you say your tempo needs a 5 speed swap? Get one from an escort. The pedals and all fit, the shift linkage has to be made to fit.

My dad used to have an 89 Topaz... we took the pedals from his 86 Escort and the 1.9 engine's tranny... put everything in the Topaz, and it worked perfect. The 1.9 will actually bolt into your car, if you can get it... I'm not sure about the mounts tho... as in which ones to use.

Sorry for the OT.
