yes everything will work... just get a set of clutch pedals clutch cable and a cross member for a t-5 5.0 the aod cross member if you break the welds and reposition it will work... I did that to mine but it's just easier to buy a new one and get a clutch kit and flywheel and away you go......oh you'll also need to rewire the nuetral saftey switch so you can have back up lights and so it'll start (I just joined the two wires for the nuetral saftey switch together because I didn't want to run the wires up to the clutch switch........you'll also need a ecm for a 5 speed car

what does the a9p & a9l mean i looked inside my pass. door on my mustang and there isnt a tag there but on driver door there is but no a9p or a9l on there, i heard you dont need to change the ecu on a aod to 5 speed swap

i think it might be an 86 mustang tranny i have some upgrades but i am gonna try and have the local speed shop beef it up some. i wonder if the pedals in the t-bird will work for the conversion
