Ok so i am no "noob" to cars but i am kinda to transmissions.... ok so my friend is trading in his mustang GT and it is a 5 speed and he said that he would swap me transmissions before he traded it in if i wanted a manual, which i do.... the only issue is I have a v6....? can they work between the 2? i dont think they would...

Anything's possible if you have enough money. This would be VERY expensive though. Even if you both had the same engine it would be a huge undertaking.

i used to work at an auto body shop so i have access to a lift and any tool you car think of... what would be the expensive part?

Red Beast

are you a manual already? if your already a manual i dont think it would be that much at all, if your going from auto to manual, then its going to rack up the price!

that's quite an involved install...you better have a badass set of tools

He's got an auto if I understand his first post correctly...
So he's in for a world of pain, despite that he would swap with his buddy, the V6 bell housing has a different bolt pattern than his V8 counterpart.
An adapting plate would have to be made or a custom BH all together.
Tough call.

Not to mention his buddy would have to be insane to butcher his car like that right before turning it in. A stunt like this will NOT help the trade in value.

No i have and automatic

I have access to a lift and every tool needed haha at a body shop...


So what you are saying is i would need a custom made adaption plate...? how much when it comes to it do you think i will be in on the swap?

08blackoutstang

he isnt to worried about it... so actually we would need 2 adapting plates made... one for him and me

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see you do this so long as you kept us up to date throughout the build. Would definitely make for some good reading!
