T5 to AOD conversion

[fford]

I have searched for a thread for a fox stang to convert from 5 spd to auto with not much luck. I found a ton for the other way around. My question is the shift cable and shifter for the AOD how would you route it and how does the cable on the mustang throttle body go to the trans?

The shifter cable is not problem. Theres brackets on the shifter for it. The tv cable runs from the throttle body to the aod. I sold my stock set up because I put my motor/trans in a older fox an got a lokar kit for carb. You could prob use the lokar kit with the tb. You could also look for some one parting out a 87 plus stang.

I swapped my power train from a aod car to a 5 speed roller an thats what i had. I started collecting parts to go to the t5. One guy on here (I think it was this site) was having knee problems an wanted to switch for that reason.

Do some searching here Click Click Conversions - Click Click Racing Forums

lots of aod tech on that site.

You will need a tv cable, shifter for a aod, shift cable and bracket, trans wiring harness, cooler and lines, and you will have to modify your crossmember.

The reason I am looking to switch is due to the power level. I love my 5 spd but at 600 to the wheels @ 11 psi and looking to upgrade the block to a dart so I can get around 1,000 hp @ the wheels the swap seems to be inevitable. I was actually looking to use a TH400, my research so far has lead in that direction. Anyone here have experience with that conversion?

silverfox on Click Click Racing will build you an aod that can handle that.

Not a bad swap idea'r, however, if you're gonna be upwards of 6-700hp, a TH400 or a 'Glide's the way to go.

I converted my '85 LX from a GForce T5 to an AODE.

If you wanna make it easy and not have to worry about a tv cable or any of that bs, get cha a manual and/or tranny brake valve body like I did with mine and be done with it. Only thing is, Performance Automatic makes an adapter for the VB to fit around the filter but, your best bet and the easiest way is to do an external filter.

Just my $0.02
