Why? First time I ever heard of someone wanting to convert from manual to auto. It usually the other way around...

Just wondering...

Seems as though you're getting bored with your car scott. You might want to think of a mod (quickly). Nothing against auto trans but for the money you'll spend seems to me it's not worth it. I could be wrong tho...

Just tired of shifting all the time. lol Plus its hard to miss 3rd gear with a auto.lol
Plus burn outs are alot easier with a auto. I never tried to do a burn out with a 5 speed before, looks hard to do and also looks like it is a lot harder on the car.

Have you thought about investing in a STS?

Too bad you werent closer, I have an auto and my mustang just became my weekend car, So we coulda done a complete swap. I wouldnt mind a 5spd.

How hard would it be and how much would it cost if both our mustangs were at same shop and had the swap done?
