I don't see why not your easiest option may be to buy mk4 auto escort then upgrade engine and box to zetec there are auto cabs about

peco

They made mk6 escort cabs as autos but not mk4 On i think wondered if mondeo 1.8 auto box and zetec lump would fit?if so roughly what needed be done ..

paulsheerin

why not use a mk4 Escort CVT box and bolt the Zetec to it.

AFAIK the escort box didnt have a separate ecu control and is purely mechanical so should "work".. just unsure of how well.

also ecu choice could be different as some Zetec ecu's have a map with the kickdown accounted for and other auto features.

Not got any any more bud as the escorts got the manual and turno treatment accept 1 of the cabs which i swapped for an rs turbo you can also get mk3 auto's they are hard to find now though

I've only ever converted mk3/4 escorts to manual from auto and from memory this is what I did;
removed engine and box, mc/servo, changed pedals for manual pedals then fitted servo/mc from manual car and and fitted new engine and box whether it was rst or zetec or rs2000! so basically you will do the opposite

peco

Oh right cool thanks keep in mind
