Default 4 speed comversion

Has anyone converted their mustang from a automatic to a manual, if so what all do i need for the swap?

I'm assuming you want a stock 4-speed with stock clutch linkage? Underneath, you'll need a tranny, bellhousing, clutch fork and pivot bracket, flywheel, pilot bearing clutch and pressure plate. Under the hood you'll need an equalizer bar (z-bar), engine block and frame rail pivot mount, nylon bushings and felt washers and upper and lower clutch lever rods. Under the dash you'll need manual pedals, pads and bushings, clutch pedal return spring, two spring bushings and a pedal stop.

I may be missing some things and using wrong names as I'm reciting this from memory. Your best bet is to look in a good catalog from NPD or the like and see what parts you'll need.

FWIW, unless you have some specific reasons to do so, I'd forget the 4-speed and put in a T-5. It is lighter, has better gearing and shifts a lot easier.
