So here is my question. A friend of mine has a rebuilt bullit tranny and driveshaft. Could I use these to convert my auto into a manual? I would also get a t-lok differential at the same time. would this even fit on my car and if so what would i need/what would it cost (he will sell the tranny and shaft to me for 500ish) a point in the right direction would be nice. From what i gather i would need a new chip, i could get a clutch pedal assy and cable from a junkyard car, and a clutch. what else would i need to do this properly? I am not the most car savvy person in a world but i do know which end of a hammer to use (all of my wrench turning experience is on aircraft ) Recomidations on where to get the chip/clutch would be wonderful. i know im asking a lot of everyone, and sorry for that!

what year is your car...

what year and car is the tranny out of??

some one else will have to tell you if the flexplate will work ...

im not sure on the chip and what not ... again some one else will have to help you with this...

[Curti]

sorry i have a '00 and the bullit was made in '01

[Onemanzu]

do you know the transmission type/name

for example i have a T5 tranny ...

This new one is a ________ tranny

[Curti]

according to google the 01 bullit came with a 5m tranny, so im assuming that is what it is b/c this is his stock tranny

i just goofed didnt i oO, the site was refering to it as a 5speed manual, duh lol sorry im still looking for not though all i can tell you is it is whatever came stock with the 01 bullitt

[Curti]

yea, i think i just goofed oO, 5m isnt a tranny type is it? i think the site was referring it as 5 speed manual lol duh, im still trying to find out sorry

[Onemanzu]

its a 3650 ... i got it covered... we got a section for v8's too ...

uhh im trying to figure out how hard it would be to switch that in ... that tranny is so different from the other ones they put in to sixxers... im asking around to see if their is an extreme difference...

for some reason i want to say it will cost you hundreds to make that one work ...

[Curti]

thanks man, yea im doing this b/c i am going to add some hp adding mods later on and my auto tranny is NOT going to cut it 70,000 miles didnt help it ;P

[Onemanzu]

you can get an auto to be faster then a manual ...

you can get them rebuilt its not hard... and then add a higher stall converter...

what are your plans and can help you find some more info

[Curti]

I realize that, but manual is a personal preference but eventually i would like to change headers, supercharger (or turbo havent decided) cold air intake and dual exaust. the desired effect to make the car fun fast. Being younger insurace makes keeping it a v6 more affordable. this will also be my daily driver so i dont want to go crazy!

[Onemanzu]

Then you will want to look for a transmission out of some slightly older cars... let me see if i can find the list again


T-5 (5-Speed Manual)
94-Present V6

World Class T-5 (5-Speed Manual)
94-95 GT/Cobra

T-45 (5-Speed Manual)
95 CobraR, 96-99 Cobra, 96-01 GT

[Curti]

so that list is if all of the trannys that would fit, and the bullitt tranny just would not fit correct?

[Onemanzu]

the input shafts wouldn't line up from what im reading... but im not sure give me a coupla more minutes to see if someone does know...

[Curti]

ok man thanks for your help

[Onemanzu]

well i sent off a few emails to some big name companies and seeing as its late on a sunday i wont get answers for a while...

I also lied to you its the Bell housing bolt pattern that wont fit on your car not the input shaft... im trying to see if i can track down a bell housing that will work... but with very little success

[Curti]

k man again thanks for the help. if you would just want to forward the emails you get from these companies to my email address that would be awesom. its climbach@gmail.com

You need a t-5 transmission from one of manys cars that come equipped with said 5 speed tranny, and then you need the v6 bellhousing, its thats simple. You can use your drive shaft you just need to switch the auto yoke to a manual yoke and get a new u joint (like $10). Try to get the tranny from the same year mustang 99-04 that way the vss sensor will be electric and you wont have to get one seperately. The 94-98 T5 has a manual vss which would have to be replaced with an electric one i believe, because i dont think the connections match up

As far as everything else you need..

-flywheel
-ford special order flywheel bolts (pia to get, must order through ford)
-clutch kit
-clutch pedal assembly (94-04 v6/gt assy. will work)
-clutch cable
-Tranny wiring harness for your year stang (99-04)
-Manual Ecu from 99-04 v6(not absolutely necessary but highly recommended, otherwise left with a flashing O/D light at all times)
-Shifter, shift knob, shift boot, weather shield (lower boot)

Or... you could buy a saleen. worked for me.

[Stang6899]

I have a 5 spd transmission out of a 97 gt if you're interested and maybe some of those other parts tuned listed if they will work on a v6.
