It seems my dad decided that I will be not be selling my 98 Mustang and getting a 5.0 because of college. Since I am going to have my stang for another 5 years until after college, is it possible to get a transmission change from automatic to 5-speed manual??? If so how much and whats the best option???

 

just put in a shift kit

 

</P>


haha thanks but could you please tell me where I can get this done and how much it will cost?</P>

 

You can get it installed at any local transmission shop locally. Go to www.google.com and look up Ford AOD Shift Kits.

 

its gonna cost u big bucks to get a tranny change, at least 1500.00 for tranny + parts + labor, probably more like 2k

Do you know where I could find a 98 mustang tranny though? I searched and can't find any <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>

just give the auto some work and you will be fine

 

will the t-5 out of an older 5.0 fit on a 4.6? If so Id say you could find a used on for a reasonable price. But youd have to get a pedal kit and all the fabrication done to make it match up. Its expensive to have all that done. I have a friend with a 90 gt that converted from aod to a 5spd from a 93, and it was more of a headache than a gain. get a shift improver kit and a chip. these will firm up your shifts and help you out.</P>
