no way i would hack a car to take out a auto for a manual...thats why you paid extra 1grand for the auto..cause its better than the manual...at least on the value of your car

I remember reading one of the recent mustang mags that they documented an auto to manual swap in a new mustang.
They said that it wasnt that bad. Everything basically bolted together and there were a few electrical connections they needed to make and had to swap ECM's with a manual tranny one I believe.

Take a look through the current mustang mags, it's in one of them, I just can't remember which one.

the biggest problem you may have with the auto to manual swap is the fact that you will be putting in a T5, the least sporty transmission EVER. and apparently the noiseiest ****ing transmission ever.

good luck with the swap but know that the V6 5-speed is ****.
