GT03 TJS

I know its going to cost a lot...but how much money/headahce am I looking at to swap out an automatic transmission in a 2003GT for a T-56 six speed. Is it impossible?

Just had it done in my 02 GT. I purchased the T3650 kit from MPS Auto salvage. www.mpsautosalvage.com for $2499. This kit cost another $188 in shipping costs. It is relatively complete. I needed a Steeda Tri shifter, Steeda **** and a Spec Stage 2 Hybrid Clutch also a connector harnesses and 3.5 quarts of royal purple tranny synthetic fluid. The conversion worked well. The difficulity was installing the peddle box -- you'll need two people. Another problem was the hump. The hump in an automatic GT is higher than the humb in the 5 speed GT. So you will have to modify the plastic face plate to fit. But it can be done. Lastly, you will have to match your keys but this can be circumvented if your computer guy is real good. I got lucky and didn't need to get a new computer and major tune, I only needed a reflash and a few pulls on dyno.

Prior to the sway, my 02 made 458 to the wheels. The swap freed up 22 hp. But I lost torque up front.

Cost of parts: Kit $2499, Spec 2 Clutch $339, Steeda Shifter $179, Steeda handle $33, Harness $40, Tranny oil $22 Shipping $188 Total $3260

Cost of Labor: 10 hours at $75 per $750. Computer reflash $200. Total cost of conversion: $4010.

My Mustang drives like a real 5 speed out of the factory.

Thanks for all the info!!!

I'm interested in going 175mph +. Will a T-56 go into a 94 GT?

Thanks,

Hi,

Here's a good article on mounting a T-56 to a 98 Cobra.

did you ever fix the chattering problem.
im having that problem too. the clutch was replaced a while ago but it chatters and sometimes doesnt disengage. i heard i was supposed to bleed the clutch or something to that effect. if anyone knows of this or know how to do this they should help me out .

Hey guys whats up. I just bought a 1995 Mustang Gt with a factory five speed clutch. Basicly the cluth and shifter are 12 years old. My question is.... what should I get to replace these keeping in mind a low price and a smooth shift afterwards? Thanks...

Greetings,
I'm new top the forum and recently got a '92 convertible. It looks like it was converted from auto to 5 speed at some time in its past. Problem I am having is it pops out of reverse. The stops on the Steeda shifter are adjusted properly. What is the usual cause and how much grief is this to repair this myself. I have rebuilt motors and done mechanical and body repairs. Have restored 5 cars so I'm not afraid to tackle this job. Just curious how difficult it is or what special tools may be needed. Any recommended parts vendors?

Any and all help appreciated.

TIA

sounds like maybe a bent shift fork or a bad synchro... it could be quite a challange without a press...

I'm mechanically retarded and I own a 2004 Mustang GT. First, can someone tell me what transmission I have. Second, I was told my second gear synchro is bad and it sounds like the third gear is doing the same thing. I was told the kit to fix this costs $1700. Are there any cheaper alternatives or should I fork out the money. Keep in mind I will be paying for all the work to be done.
