Question/Transmission

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 12:44 PM

I purchased a mustang 2006 GT automatic.
I want to convert to a 5 speed.

Any ideas on how/or is it even possible

is it coupe or convertable?

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 12:51 PM

Coupe

blackmustang285 · January 13th, 2009, 12:53 PM

It is possible, but it could get very costly. You will have to buy the manual tranny, clutch, etc.

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 12:55 PM

I don't plan on selling it so I am ok putting the cash into it, wont effect the chip or anything?
What is costly?

Where did you go? was looking for your expertise.

you can get a tranny from Rich (Radmustangs), he is a vendor here. Its a brand new take off for about $699........clutch and all that is extra. You would need the car re-tuned for a manual tranny. Lots of work involved. Scroll through the other posts, there was a very recent one about this same topic.

Thanks

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 01:02 PM

Thanks again

blackmustang285 · January 13th, 2009, 01:02 PM

I think that you would need the oaks processor out of manual mustang as well.

I think the link worked this time. They talk about a swap in that article.

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 01:07 PM

Yes it did thanks

blackmustang285 · January 13th, 2009, 01:10 PM

Also read page three in the other thread going on right now about the swap. A guy on there said that a shop want $5000 dollars to swap to a manual. That is probably about right if you are unable to do the work your self.

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 01:13 PM

Wow that is expensive.But worth it.

christine235 · January 13th, 2009, 01:16 PM

I am in the north can anyone recommend a mechanic qualified to do the work

07stanggt · January 13th, 2009, 01:16 PM

You can cut cost, you can get a trans for 699, new take off. Retail its 1800.

But its still a lot of parts involved. You could talk to people on this site that went from manual to auto. I mean all the little stuff.

07stanggt · January 13th, 2009, 01:17 PM

whats the north?

blackmustang285 · January 13th, 2009, 01:17 PM

Well good luck in what ever you decide to do. Post if you decide to do it so we can see the project as it goes.
