If all you have is $300, you don't have enough for gears+tlok. The install itself will probably run $300, so unless you get the parts for free, it isn't happening.
You do not lose top speed with 4.10s. I don't know why people say that. I can hit 130 with my 4.10s, and I'm almost positive I couldn't do that with my 3.27s. There is no reason to ever go that fast anyway, considering our cars barely trap 90 mph.

Until you're breaking into the 10s, you'd be better off with a manual.
my 5spd swap is definitely my favorite mod so far

Get a shift kit or tune it with a chip or Programmer but honestly nothing is like the real thing. Out of all the mods I done the car swapping the auto for manual has given me a HUGE improvement even my MPG went up!

RE: Transmission
Ok can we apply this to the newer mustang now?
I have an 07 V6 and I want to swap the auto for manual. I just don't see any point in modding it if it's an auto...So how much would this cost me?
I've also heard some things about a shift kit? What is this and how much would it cost?
