im wondering the same thing man

Compy386 · January 26th, 2007, 10:15 PM

What I wanna know is, are there any power adders that won't work with a auto?

97TunedMustang · January 26th, 2007, 10:30 PM

your looking at about $1200 in parts depending on prices you can find. i got everything i needed off eBay. and it depends where your going to get it installed. i had a friend of mine install mine so he charged me $175 but honestly its not that difficult. you'll need access to a car lift and transmission jack.

Lt_Crazy · January 27th, 2007, 04:06 PM

just get a B&M auto shift kit!?!?!?!

Compy386 · January 27th, 2007, 04:08 PM

What sort of things can you do to improve the tranny while keeping it auto?

GreenFaleen · January 27th, 2007, 04:09 PM

unless you are dead set on getting one a shift kit will give you the same results or just trade you car for a like one with a 5 speed it will be easier.

look at the shift kit thread it talks about all of it and no there is nothing performance that won't work with an auto

Juggalo_X · January 27th, 2007, 04:11 PM

im going with a b & m shift kit my buddy from the ford dealership who is the tranny guy is going to do it in his garage for a case of beer w00t!

Luvdmustang · January 27th, 2007, 04:23 PM

so if i wanted to make my auto a manual, what parts would i need exactly?

Luvdmustang · January 27th, 2007, 07:39 PM

anyone wanna answer my question? lol

Redline · January 27th, 2007, 08:15 PM

Yea I can't swap cars because I had some things just put on my car that would be a pain in the ass to switch over like my new viper alarm. So I'm new to modding so can you hook me up with links for some parts I'll need?

97TunedMustang · January 27th, 2007, 08:44 PM

you'll need...

-t5 transmission
-t5 v6 bellhousing
-t5 v6 input shaft
^^Youll have all these things if you get the trans from a v6 car..obviously
-clutch/brake pedal assembly
-clutch cable
-Clutch Kit (clutch pack, pilot bearing, fork, install guide pin, etc)
-T5 manual transmission yoke to swap to your driveshaft or just get a driveshaft with yoke from a manual.
-manual tranny ecm from same year car
-shift knob and boot of choice

yea i think thats everything.. lol

Redline · January 27th, 2007, 08:50 PM

wow all of those parts for alittle over $1000 ? Also would i be able to make money off the parts I no longer need? If so how much do you think I would get for it ?

unless you know a place or person you can sell your auto tranny too its not worth too much. on ebay they're uber cheap even with low miles. i still have my old transmission, just cant get rid of the damn thing. you might get a few bucks off the old brake pedal assembly or ecm but dont expect much.

Redline · January 27th, 2007, 09:15 PM

thanks for your help, I've been wondering what is the little gray button on the shifter it's under the the big black button that you hold in to put car into gear.

Youngin · January 27th, 2007, 09:19 PM

i was trying to do the same thing . except people told me it would be cheaper if you just trade it in for a manual tranny . for me it would cost 2grand for the swap . and couple more thousands for them to change the computer stuff around or something
