Pleasee help me, transmission change

[Steelerdude90]

Hi so I have a 98 V6 Mustang automatic and I am looking to change it to a manual but I don't know what parts I need to get in order to get this done? Can someone help me out and tell me exactly what I need? Thank you!

This should get you started: Ok made up my mind... going to swap for a manual and need input

Also, Kiljosh on here is in the middle or about to start the same thing, so you can wait for him to chime in.

just ask yourself a few questions

1. Am I so attached to my car that I dont want to sell it regardless ever

2. Do I care that the value of my car will drop like a rock and it will be harder to sell once I swap the transmission to a manual?

3. Do I care that in doing this chances are I could have sold and purchased a manual car like mine and saved some cash and resale value?

4. Can I do all the work myself or will labor charges rape me?

If you dont mind the above then you can go for it.

I actually based most of my parts research off of this site...Ineed a t5 swap kit help!!!! - Mustang Forums at StangNet

Here is a copy of my notepad file with the parts included on that site but ordered by price. I'm pretty sure I slimmed their list down aswell because I need a running version of my car as quickly as possible since I am moving soon. Parts like a shifter, flywheel, or shifter boot I havent looked into much yet.
