Auto to Manual

For a 5 speed swap Mustang Magic quoted me 2300. That was everything and labor with a used 5 speed, cobra clutch and tri-ax. Pedal box and stuff all used from wrecked cars. I'm planning on jumping to a nice T56. I think D&D performance has a well priced kit. To me its worth it over trading my car.

2300...to each his own but that is 1/2 wasy to a S/C kit
good luck

I really dont want a supercharged auto. Even with my current set-up the auto doesnt give you enough control on the street (shifting while cornering etc.), and runs out of gear too early. The last thing I want is more power.

Its fine for drag racing and all, but I eventually want my car set-up more as my everyday driver / autocross, and I feel the manual tranny is far better suited for that. Once I get the T56 I'll debate on whether to stay NA or get blown, but the tranny has to come first. I never wanted an auto (wifes fault ), and would never buy one again.

go to www.stangparts.com they have complete kits available there.


man i feel like their spokesperson lately, this is the 4th or 5th thread like this lately

Does anybody know what all comes in the stangparts kit. I can prolly get a 5 speed and if I had a full parts list I could goto my local junk yard and get a real good deal on all of the other stuff that I would need to do the swap. I just don't wanna get half way into the middle of it and find out that I would need somting that I didn't have, If someone knows the full list of things needed please post it up.

well supposedly, it's absolutely everything you need. a while back (like a year or more) mm&ff did a article on it & that's who they called to get the kit. & it had everything in it of course there always seems to be something that you need to go down to autozone for in the middle of a project, no matter how well preparred you are

no it's been a while back, heck it might have been 2 years ago . but if you write them or e-mail them, they can usually accomodate you

Ive found a 5 speed for a good price. I just need to find out everything else that is needed for the swap.

don't hold me too this, but i think someone told me in one of the other threads that mps will sell the kit, minus the tranny as well. so it might be worth checking out still
