I'm looking into transmissions as nobody wants to buy my car so I'm fixing and keeping it I need:

Automatic transmission options for my gt and manual transmission options that will work and if it's a different transmission then stock can I get a list of what I'd need to get for the swap to work if anything

Being your on a budget. Just go to a junk yard and replace what you have in the car. That way your not replacing a bunch of other accessorie parts. Lots of transmissions will work but none are entry level budget friendly. I have a built C4. Good drag racing transmission but you need to get a transmission, shifter, correct flex plate, etc. to go that route. It adds up quick. Another cheap option would be to get a T5 manual. They can be had for as low as $200 and I've read that the swap is fairly straight forward..

I keep hearing horror stories about doing auto to manual swaps... And get yelled at for even mentioning it... And I would need a drive shaft that fits as well as a clutch pedal assembly so I guess my two question with manual swapping is what would I need because I'd prefer that honestly it's more fun

- Starter index plate
- Bell housing/scatter shield
- Pivot ball
- T5 transmission
- Shifter
- Shifter ****
- Shifter weather seal
- Shifter boot
- Flywheel
- Clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch disc, and throw out bearing)
- Pilot bearing
- Clutch fork
- Clutch cable
- Clutch cable clip (secures the cable to the bell housing)
- Pedal Assembly
- Clutch quadrant
- Speedometer gear
- Back-up light harness (Ford part# E7ZZ-15525-A)
- T5 transmission cross member
- Exhaust hanger

After seeing the list of needed parts you can understand why people yell at you to just replace whats already in there.

OP, 5 speed swaps are a walk in the park.........done plenty for customers.....toughest part is rounding up all the parts.........do them in 1 day for people.

If you were the OP, what do you think is the cheapest way to get all the parts ? Just find a junked 5 speed car and remove everything?

mjr46

dunno, what do you think?

That's how I probably would attack it if my budget was less than generous.

Swapping out my T-5 to AOD. The trans is in but drive shaft is too long. Did the AOD come in different lengths?? Had to modify the trans mount also. The AOD mount was rearward about 1".

The manual and automatic different length transmissions and where are you located I would come for a t-5 if I had to because they ain't cheap near me

What manual trans is in the v6 mustangs and would that work because there's more then enough of those around me for 800 or less that I could buy replace parts then scrap or do some cheap fix and sell or part out if I had to
