I want a 5 speed so bad :(

[Cantslowdown]

I just love having my car in low gears the car sounds good just driving tru place doing like 30 in 2nd gear..I am starting the think about puting a 5 speed in the car..I am sure its cheaper then gettting a built up automatic..

Man you should have sold that car when you got it and got a 5 speed.

Start looking on ebay! Lots and lots of T45's, TR3650's, TKO500's, etc. Then you need bellhousing, flywheel, clutch/pedal assembly.

Install one of those full manual shift kits for your automatic, then you'll be able to leave the trans in any gear you want.

I hear ya man. I hated my auto in my old v6 w/ the auto. I always wanted to put a 5-speed in, but since I knew I would get rid of it, I never did. I know Mustang Parts Specialties (now MPS Salvage http://www.mpsautosalvage.com) has auto to 5-speed swap kits and ebay is also a great resource. You could do the manual shift kits, but remember the 5-speed has that extra gear which really sets apart the 5-speed and auto.

Ohh i know that..But i bet doing a full vavle body wouldnt be cheap..

the swap is very easy in our cars.. I bet you can get one of the techs at your work to do it on the side.

 

[Cantslowdown]

Yeah one said he would do it...Just the swap cost 2 grand just for parts lol..Guess just live with the auto i guess..

i drive with my auto in 1st gear and wind that bitch out and listen to the exhaust when the RPM's drop back down...
Auto>Manual at track...
Manual much more fun for street cruising though.
Get a Torque Convertor and do a Jmod and you'll have no problems with 5speeds and for half the price of a 5sp swap.
