Yes.

Feasibilty: I understand it to be a direct swap if the ZF comes from behind another 300 (or 302 or 351W). Needs to be 4wd, too, of course. Difficulty: if you can put in a new clutch, you can do this swap.

Doubtful. If your driving habits stay the same, so should the mpg.




By the way, this has been discussed many times before. A wealth of knowledge lies on the other side of the "search" button.

Far as I know. That's the appeal of the ZF: low 1st and OD fifth.
