Well today my auto in my 96 mustang did a real bad gear change, like it lost all power between first and second then all of a sudden found second with a bang. Now when the auto shifts into 3rd at 60ks it makes a continues funny noise the whole time in 3rd.

I know I can get a 2000gt engine with a t45 gearbox for the same price as a rebuild of the auto.

My question is will the new combo work in my 96?. Will I need to change the ecu as it doesn't come with one. I do have a sct tuner,could I use this to change the current ecu.

The 2000 engine and T45 will work. From what I understand, you only would need the ECU when going from manual to auto. Auto to manual, the ECU isn't needed cause all the shifting will be done manually.

Keep in mind that when going from auto to manual you will need the clutch pedal and all associated linkages.
