My gf's dad wants to know what it would take to change the stock 4 speed to a 5 speed... any ideas?

[MustangOne]

It is funny you ask, We are doing the same thing now.

We carry the adapter kit to switch from 4 Speed to 5 Speed for $450

All you have to do is add this adapter and use your same clutch pedal set up and same bell housing and Clutch.
The kit comes with adapter plate, Drive shaft yoke, and tranny mount. Takes a day to swap them.

So will he have to grab a 5 speed trans out of another car?

bump


need some info

[MustangOne]

We use this one It is 1399.99 at Jegs


But you can use any ford 5 speed from a 85 to 94.

Just remember the 4 Cyl & 6 Cyl you have to change the pilot bushing to a 93 6 Cyl Probe bushing.

well i think going out and find a 5.0 in a junkyard and taking it out is a better idea

If it makes any difference its a non hi po 289

[MustangOne]

The thing you might look at. I like the 4 Cyl and 6 Cyl because there not trashed yet.

And the 4 Cyl have the higher gear ratio for the first gear.
makes a 3:00 rear end feel like a 3:75 gears

Here is a Link to putting T5's in a old Mustang

[kevin86freeman]

What do you mean by 4's and 6's is there a difference in the transmission?

You will only want to use the T5 from a 5.0 Mustang from the years 85 to 93.
The World Class T5 will handle the torque but the others will not.
Here is a good reference link

as you can tell I have a mustang family

[kevin86freeman]

does anyone know where i can get one in socal

[kevin86freeman]

O I meant to ask whats everything i would need for the swap from the stock 4 speed to a t-5 5 speed?

I heard the only thing you need is the 5.0 tranny and a k member or something like that.

Info plz

[mustngcutie250]

the only thing is that he wants to keep it stock, and putting a new
5 spd tranny in it isnt gonna keep it stock

[MustangOne]

This is what you need to swap from a 4 speed to a 5 speed.

Good info that I used when converting my 3 speed to a T5 in the 66 coupe

T5 Swap, T5 Conversion, Mustang T5 Swap, Auto to Manual Transmission -FordMuscle.com

Go to Craigslist for the T5. Expect to pay 300 to 600 for one that has not been abused from a 5.0 Mustang
