Can anyone confirm if the manual tranny of a 94 V6 is the same as the 94 V8? I have already swapped my engine to 5.0L on my 94 and left it auto. Now i can get a 5-speed from a V6 and am thinking of putting that in.
ok actually my garage also told me it had a different bellhousing.
Umm...I would find a new garage. The 3.8 shares the Small Block Ford bolt pattern on the bell housing.
This is why those who have done the 4r70w swaps have used V6 trannies, unless they used AODE housing.

Funny source, I know, but it's accurate(even on the 200ci I6 stuff).
Wait now i'm confused... 66 coupe you are saying that the bellhousing is the same and so the tranny should fit right up right? I have a 95 original V6 that now has a V8 in it and the donor car is a 94 V6 3.8L. Will all parts fit up??
The V-6 and V-8 T5 transmissions are almost identical, including the fact that they both have the same gear ratios. The only difference, according to Tim, is the V-8’s gearsets are stronger than the V-6’s.
to put the v6 manual tranny in your car you need a 94-95 v8 manual tranny bellhousing.
ok so i hope you're right 66 coupe. So many weird answers tho that it's not very comforting. lol I'll try to research it further.
The bellhousing you want to use has "5.0" painted on it, but the 3.8 late model Mustang bellhousing will also fit.
The 4R70Ws originally came on a lot of vehicles, but the best were the '99 and up Mustangs. The 4.6 Mustang tranny won't bolt up to a 5.0. However a V6 automatic transmission will bolt right up.
The V6 Bellhousing will mount up to the engine without a problem. The problem is when you put your starter on it will not touch the Flywheel. Reason being is because the V6 5spd cars use a 164 tooth flywheel while the V8's use a 157 tooth flywheel.. Now you could either find a 164 tooth flyweel with the right imbalance or get a 94-95 Stock Bellhousing.
I've done enough swaps I know the differences between almost every part from V6- V8
So if he bolted a V6 AODE onto the 5.0, what flexplate and starter is he running now? Is there no difference between a 5.0 flexplate and 3.8?
