Default Auto to T-5 Swap

Hello. Im new to the forum, I have a 95 GT 5.0. My main project for the summer is swapping out the auto trans for a T-5. Can you guys give me a list of exactly what I need to do this? I kno I need the specific 94-95 T-5 trans because it has a longer shaft I was told, but what else do I need in order to do the swap? Thanks

I don't know all the parts, but here's some:

-clutch pedal assembly
-W/ the tranny, get the bellhousing, flywheel, and block plate
-HD clutch fork
-10.5" clutch kit -- 10 spline, I believe. Ram HD will come w/ everything you need [disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and alignment tool]
-Hurst, Steeda, MGW shifter -- not a necessity, but you'll want one and it'll be easier to do it all at once.
-double hump crossmember for T5
-Prothane or Energy suspension tranny mount and bushings for the crossmember

Since you're going to have it all out, I'd get an aluminum quadrant kit w/ firewall adjuster. Put the quadrant on before you put the assembly in....much easier than afterwards.

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head....

I completed the swap about 2 months ago. Here is the place that I ordered everything from. They have complete conversion kits, http://www.prestigemustang.com/?dev=main

If your gonna swap to a Manuel DON"T get a T-5. They are weak. If you gonna go through the hassle of changing do it once and don't worry about it again. If you want to put any kind of power into your car I would advise you against the T-5. Go with a T-56 or a Tremec TKO series.
