The fuel injectors in the ZX2 are very loud. They have a high metallic clicking sound. This is often mistaken for valve chatter but since we don't have adjustable valves, you likely don't have chatter.
Yes there is a way to fix this problem--- it needs another transmission--- since she does not want to spend the big bucks--- a used one will cost about $450.00.
And since she's got you to do the labor to swap it for her!!--- free.
Or try using a product called " Trans X "available at most auto parts store.
You will have to remove a quart of trans fluid from the pan and then add the product,---follow the instructions on the can.
Normally this works well but it's a short time fix.
I have used this product on a 2000 Zx and got like another 6000 miles on a trany that had 215,000 miles.
Good Luck.
All of the ZX2's have Zetec engines. The language filter blocked out some of your text so I don't know what kind of engine someone told you it was. As long as you get an engine from another ZX2, it'll be a direct drop-in. The only concern is if the donor had the same transmission as you do. If not, the crank sensor spacer will have to swapped from your old engine.
Press the brake pedal with the engine idling, do you hear any hissing? if so it is a leaky brake booster, the vacuum leak will cause a stall, another issue with this car is sludge in the throttle valve and idle speed control air-bypass valve, clean them both with carb spray with the engine running, use about 1/2 the can, hold the idle high or the engine will stall, then disconnect the battery for five minutes, reconnect and drive a few miles, if the stall is sludge related then this should correct the issue.
