I want a 5 speed pretty damn bad, but I dont want to get rid of my car, im in love with it, so im wonderin how much it would be for a conversion from auto to a 5 speed, its a 98 Stang, V6.

Thanks!

 

[lowflyn]

much more trouble than it's worth...seriously

 

[WhiteStang99]

not worth it. If you actually do mod ur car, you can mod the tranny, and it can shift waay better than you can when done properly.

 

[STEVE]

trade your car for a manual, dont swap it

 

[jimmy_beaner]

get a wrecked GT manual.... and swap it into your car, and then you'd have a manual.... you can get a wrecked GT for less than $3000

 

[STEVE]

would the gt bell housing even fit on his 232

Hmm, I would trade it, but I already put on Flowmasters, and I have my Guages installed which took me a good 2 hours to get in and get it all nice and wired, I dont want to just GIVE it away, unless it could be for a Mustang GT. But I dont think ill get anything higher then 6 grand for it if even that.

 

[WhiteStang99]

on a trade, you'll be lucky to pull 6 grand. Really lucky.

Flowmasters and gauges aren't a whole lot of work.

Yea thats what I thought, well I like this car to much to just give away, everyone should have a special bond with their car if they like cars. So I would rather just throw in a shifter kit, tranny cooler, and 4.10 gears instead of getting a stock manual. Thanks for the help you guys.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

A manual swap is doable, but it's not what you'd call economical.

I've done them in the past on vehicles that never came with a stick, even as an option, and were less sophisticated. It's all in having your ducks in a row. Knowing what needs to be done and having everything on hand.

So, while it'd be cheaper and maybe faster to buy another ride it isn't impossible especially for a vehicle that means something special to you.

Well I guess you see where im comin from when I talk about my bond with my car, haha. You said youve done it before?

 

[STEVE]

it is just expensive but its doable, contact midwestmustang.net and ask how much their swap kit would cost you

I tell you people time and time again (B R E N T) and you wont listen... autos sucksorz I had one... it blew selling the car and getting a manual was the best idea I have had

 

[STEVE]

autos do suck but noone believes me.

Why sound we believe you. I shifted all the sports cars I have owned and I am enjoying my Interceptor Auto tranny which will bark going into 2nd and 3rd and giving up about 20+ HP on Rob and him having a 5 speed he only got about 3/4 car length on me at Track day. I still got him by half a car length on the first run

So much for slow ass Auto's

but rob beat you. so....

Old has nothing to do with it. I can outdrive most. I can outshift most. I can out steer most. most will never drive cars with the horsepower the cars I have driven had. My car is set up for mountain driving. I like the Performance Auto tranny because I am able to shift like a manual if I want to but on the dyno the way the auto tranny is set up and with the programming in a 1/4 mile run i cannot beat the auto shifting. Coming into a downward hairpin on a mountain road I enjoy the downshifting though!!!!

 

[STEVE]

what mods do u have done to that tranny, converter, drums, clutch packs, valve body,ect?

 

[Danger Dude]

I have a Perfromance PATC Interceptor Tranny 2500 stali converter, Transgo shift kit, and SCT tuned for firmer shifts

here is what I have
