Why exactly do you want to do that anyway? My mustang is stick and I cant even comprehend swapping to an auto.

Yeah, but unless your building a drag car, why bother going from a stick to an auto?

maybe he has to deal w/ a lot of bumper to bumper trafic every day and there are a bunch of other things that just make it a pain? who knows.
i would just look for an auto stang. a lot less work. unless you find a cheap trany out of a salvage yard. you could get a shif kit installed while its out and put in a higher tq converter to go along with it. it might get kinda pricy doin all that though.

U're stock bro so dont talk!. When u purchase exhaust sytem and put it on then hear it yourself u can then talk, until then u can just watch online videos which are a ****y quality even with digital video camcorders.

What exactly does the transmission have to do with how exhaust sounds as it flows through some mufflers? Yes, autos win races. Ask anyone who doesnt have their head up their ***. On the strip and the street, there isnt anything that beat a well built automatic.

Good choice my man, i say find yourself a 4r70w(it will bolt right up to your bell housing, Ford tranny) and throw a shift kit/performance valve body and a solid 2000 stall torque converter in it. Then enjoy the **** out of it
