I have a 2003 Mustang Gt with an automatic transmission I was looking to convert it into a five speed does anyone know what parts would be needed to do so.
I recently finished mine and off hand you'll need.... tranny, flywheel, clutch, clutch fork, clutch cable, pedal assembly, manual computer or tune, shifter, driveshaft.
I don't reccomend it for a novice, but if you know what you're doing it's not too complicated.
You'd need a bunch of stuff, i'll try and rattle off things at the top of my head:
- New Trans + shifter + driveshaft + proper bell housing for trans/engine
- clutch pedal
- clutch disc
- Clutch fork + clutch cable
- new pilot bearing (for crank--autos use a different one i think for the torque converter)
- flywheel
- T.O.B (throw out bearing)
I'm a little tired at the moment, but i think that covers it. Minus little things like trans fluid. Are you doing this install yourself? If you need to know what any of that stuff is feel free to ask.
Just get a transgo shift kit and a 3200 stall and say bye bye 5 speed......and the 4r70w has a higher 1rst and 2nd gear ratio and is much more durable than the 5 sp....just keep the od off when hitting it hard!
I agree with keeping the Auto. I have a 3200 stall and i beefed up my trans and it chirps the tires between shifts. I actually did an exhaust video on youtube and you could hear the chirp in the shift. I wanted to go stick for awhile but once i put in the converter it changed my mind.
True. Stick with the auto. stock for stock a stick has got a .100 better times, but in the long run auto is better. Autos dont have that torque shock when they change gears. And if you get a tuner you can program when it shifts, how hard of a shift @ wot and partial throttle. autos are way more consistant at the track. lots of human error in shifting
