Researching these forums has been really helpful for me, so I'll leave some details of my trans swap to maybe help others down the road.
Car 2001 GT Auto - 1st owner, 60k miles. I bought most of the following parts 10 years ago, and then took a break from modding the car while my kids were young. Back at it now and loving it!
Trans Swap Parts List (Updated as we progressed):
Factory refurb 04 T3650 Trans
Tremec 3650 Clutch Fork Dust Cover (LMR)
MGW shifter and shift knob
Shifter gasket or silicone
Manual trans lower shift boot plate (you will need to enlarge the hole in the floor to match this)
Manual shifter bezel and boot (ebay)
SVT Cobra pedal box (ebay)
Adjustable clutch cable
Clutch cable retaining clip (LMR) - did not come with the clutch cable
Ford manual trans bell housing spacer plate (LMR)
Bell housing bolt kit (AM)
Ford OEM clutch fork kit (LMR or AM)
SPEC aluminum flywheel
ARP flywheel bolts (Amazon)
RAM HDX clutch kit (included pilot bearing)
Ford Racing Aluminum Driveshaft (or SR perf from AM)
Stifflers driveshaft safety loop (obv. this is optional)
Ford Racing Diff Cover M-4033-G2 (stock is leaking)
Rear diff fluid and seal kit (LMR)
Manual trans wiring harness (MPS) ~$150
SCT XCal3 (already had this) - Tune for auto to manual swap by Bama Performance
While I'm at it, we're throwing some new seats in...
Electrically, I still have to work out how to hook up the neutral safety switch. Advice is appreciated. I dont want to simply bypass it.
I have an aftermarket alarm, so I'm disabling the PATS system in the SCT tune so that the car doesnt puke about the mis-matched PCM.
At this point all of the auto trans parts are out ready to be posted on ebay... Pics soon...
