you need clutch pedals from a 94/95 (the 96+hydroboost pedals are a tad different)

computer or a tune (however your auto computer will run it just fine if ur in a pinch, it will hesatate a little when it wants to shift the auto

the reason for the different input shaft on the 94/95 is the bellhousing is longer. so if you go with a fox piece also go with their bellhousing and you wont have to worry about that.

auto's use a flexplate, so you will need a new flywheel. the auto crossmember works fine with the 5speed

i think the problem is no one wants to build an AODE or can even find someone trustworthy to build one for them for a decent price.

and the cost of a 5speed is most likely less and more fun in a street car

You had me until the last part. Once you've driven a BUILT automatic with a nice stall you might change your mind. I know I did. I was a diehard 5-speed person until I bought this car. I thought about the swap a lot. Until I finally was forced into a GOOD build. Wow....

There is actually a tranny shop near me that carries a hell of a lot of t5 parts, where i got my syncro's and gears and well a lot of stuff for my tranny when I did my rebuild. I could call them up see if they can get it and how much and let you know?

im sure with a strong engine, built tranny with shift kit and a good stall convertor, 4.10s and a hammer shifter an auto is a blast. my first car was a c-4 and i had a b&m mega shifter in it and i loved it. no worries about missing a shift. the hammer shifter is a lot like a manual getting to hold it in gear and ratchet it up to the next gear. i sometimes miss my aode especially when i have to be in a lot of traffic.

as far as doing the swap, you will need a t-5 harness with the t4mo computer. while your at it get a aluminum clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. do not get an adjustable cable. get one from maximum motorsports. recommend getting a aftermarket shifter also and save your self headaches and get the correct tranny for our cars. they are not hard to find. i found mine on corral.net used with 60,000 miles on it for 450 bucks with the bellhousing. i would also get a new shift fork and the pivot bolt too. had the tranny looked at before i put it in and it was mint.

well i'm not going to swap out to a t-5. i like my aode it pulls hard in all gears and its easy to drive. i raced a kid with a 98 mustang gt 5 speed and i had him by .1 at the 60 ft. but when i shifted to 2nd my tires chirped and i lost ground. he had me at the 1/8 mile by a .1 but i closed him down and he only beat me by .006 so i'm going to supercharge my motor and if all goes well get a new lentech in a year
