    Changing the transmission from automatic to standard is a huge job, First of all a automatic car needs to have a third pedal for the clutch and your wiring harness would need to be changed. Cheaper to buy a standard transmission car.

    And the fact Zetec and SPI don't hae the same type of transmissions. Zetec has MTX-75 while the SPI has an IB5 transmission (manual that is).
