    I have a 93 mustang 2.3L. sadly my transmission is starting to go. i have no clue what kind of transmission i need. i dont get the difference between the t4 and t5 and all that. my current transmission is a automatic with overdrive.

    If my automatic was going out I'd be glad and switch over to a T5 which is the standard 5 speed transmission for the 2.3L cars. Used T5s are very inexpensive, plus you can buy tranny rebuild parts off of summit racing.

    Call up a local junk yard and see if you can price one that comes with a warranty, the transmissions from the big name parts dealers come with 3 year warrantys usually but they are quite a bit more expensive in comparison to the junk yard ones, since they are rebuild/refurb.

    Or if you hate your car now is a good time to put a sizable down payment on a newer model Mustang haha.

    But if you like your car then, you'll like the performance you get out of your Mustang after a manual switch over. Its nothing to write home about, but your driving experience will be more enjoyable in my opinion.

    93mustang13 - your current transmission is an A4LD.

    i wish i could do that but it would cost too much to put it in. i need this car to just last me long enough so i can get a mint 5.0.

    A mint 5.0? How much have you saved up so far? You might have enough money to put as a down payment on a pretty good one if you sell your 4cyl or part it out. Unless you were wanting to keep your 4cyl as a body parts car, which wouldnt be a bad idea either. Anyways good luck on whatever decision you decide to make on your tranny.
