I currently have an aod trans and i want to swap to a t5 or tremec. Does any body know of a guide on the interenet or a book that may go over the entire swap. Also I would like to know what other parts are needed for the swap. Any help would be awesome.

all you need to do is go to the junk yard and find a 5 speed car.Take out he pedals, I think its four bolts. From there i would go and get an aftermarket cable and quardrant with firewall adjuster, A bellhousing, flywheel,clutch,clutch fork if the bellhousing doesn't have one in it allready,A trans of couse, a shifter.Im pretty sure u can reuses your drive shaft.It's not that hard of a swap.
Go to the tech section at www.westcoastfords.com its mostly what I used when I did mine, along with helpful tech advice from everyone on here. A word to the wise: If you plan on putting down a lot of power eventually and youhave the cash, go with the tremec or G-force setup from the get go. I did my swap and blew the T-5 sky high right at 500 miles. Damn 3rd gear!

Is the speedo gear hard to do? Where is it? I never knew where it was and I always wondered. I just had 3:73's put in my AOD mustang and they put the correct speedo gear in. I'm thinking about doing the t5 swap but I dunno if i would have to do the gear again.
all depends on what year the trans is. the later (i think 91?) t5s have a 7 tooth drive gear, while the older ones have a six tooth. from what ive seen, the six tooth has more available combinations with driven gears to correct for rear-end ratios. theres charts around on the net (i know the frpp site has it somewhere) that show which gears you want for different ratios. i just ordered a kit from 50resto that has the correct drive and driven gears for the 4.10's ive got (6 tooth drive, 19 tooth driven gear). its not all that hard to do change, pop off the shifter base, pound out a roll pin, unbolt the tailhousing, and the drive gear is right there held on with a clip. the driven gear is even easier, just on clip on the end of the cable.

Don't forget about the clutch, flywheel bolts and bellhousing bolts..... It was midnight when I realized I didn't have them. Also the harness for the reverse lights.

Can you put the manual pedals in your car and reconnect it as an automatic until you are ready to do the rest of it?
heck, i even know a guy who put a built c4 in a stick car and still just has a clutch pedal hanging, lol
