RE: Auto or Manual
i voted manual i had a 96 gt auto before and the 94 gt 5sp i have to say is much better it feels way more like a sports car now and i think you have alot more control over the car with a manual... i think a manual would also sell better because its a mustang its a sports car alot of people buy them and dontrace them they just want a fun car to drive and i think people look for the manual transmission more in a fun car

RE: Auto or Manual
Being able to save gas and cruise in 5th at really low speeds is a plus with a manual. Plus you can throw it down a gear or two and drop the hammer. Thats a plus. Autos are for cruisers and pro drag cars. Thats my 2cents.

RE: Auto or Manual
If i were you I would leave it as an auto. From my experience more people are going to lean towards the original equipment of the car when it comes to resale. There are a lot of people, me included that are afraid of buying vehicles from people that have gone through a major conversion like that, mainly being you have no idea if the guy you are buying from knew what he was doing. For example, in your situation, if I came to look at your car and you told me you just converted from auto which was original to a manual and now your selling it, the first thought that would go through my head is that you messed something up and now its not worth fixing. IMO.
