auto conversion
 

I was just wondering cost and trouble on converting my 06 auto GT into a5 speed. Before you start wondering why I bought an auto if i wanted a 5 speed heres the story. I got it in 06 when they did 0% financing and there were no 5 speeds left anyone on the east coast. So it was either take it or leave it. I enjoy the auto but sometimes I would rather get into with a 5 speed. So is there anywhere in NC that can do this. How much would it cost and how hard and is it even worth it.

Not even worth it on the newer computer controlled vehicles.
All sorts of obsticals to overcome.
You would need a doner vehicle to start with.

I had a company in georgia said they would do it for 2,850. Not sure if it would be worth it.

i saw a 6 speed in one of the mustang magazines for like $3500, if i were you id check places like newtakeoff or try to find a wrecked 5 speed mustang and take it from that.

i have no clue how much it would cost to get it installed

Talk to Josh and Kevin @ PMPParts.com

They can anwser some questions for you i think, but unless you got extra cash lying around, you can sell yours and get another for cheaper than the cost to do the swap

the only thing would kill me is not getting 0% financing or else i would love to trade it in.

RE: auto conversion
 

did you forget the cost of having to install a clutch in the car too?

Not worth it.

Just trade it or sell it and buy what you want.
There are hundreds of thousands of mustangs made each year. Look a little harder and there is no way you can't find what you want.

All Mustang Perf. here in phoenix will do it for 6500$ that is everything or a 6speed tremec for 7500$ of course you are at the other end of the country tho.

That swap is definitely not worth the cash and trouble.
If you have 0% financing then you should have pretty good equity in your current car.
Trade it in, dealers are begging for business right now and you would find a sweet deal.
I had considered swapping my WB for a torch red and Richmond Ford was going to sell me one for $24,500, sticker was $31,450, hell of a deal!!
Look around you might even get them to throw you 0% again.
