How Much Is It To Switch To A Manual

jagstang89 · October 26th, 2006, 05:03 PM

just curious how much would it be to switch a manual

97TunedMustang · October 26th, 2006, 11:29 PM

Everything from ebay, 90% of it from the same seller too

Transmission was $500 I got lucky! usually like $800-$900
Axle with manual trans yoke $50
Clutch $150
Clutch Cable $43
Clutch pedal assembly $80
Manual ECM $50
Flywheel $50
Flywheel Bolts $26

So for me anyway total cost was approximately almost $1000.

Toughest part since i have a v6 was finding one with a v6 bellhousing and v6 inputshaft. if i had to buy the tranny , bellhousing and v6 input shaft seperately it woulda cost me almost $900 alone.

are you looking for a brand new one ... like from the factory or what?

ssajdowitz · October 26th, 2006, 11:41 PM

I spent about $3000 on my swap.

Tremec T-56 6-speed tranny $2200 new from ford racing

Clutch kit, aluminum flywheel, clutch fork, clutch cable, pedal assembly, shifter boot and knob $600

Shortening and balancing the driveshaft w/new spicer u-joints $200
(This is only needed for the 6-speed swap)

You have to have a custom tune for your computer. Fords retard the spark timing just before a shift to make it smoother. If you don't reprogram your computer, your engine will run like crap. I programed mine with the SCT X-calibrator and Pro Racer Package.

^ what the hell are you driving and how much hp do you have that you need a f***in 6 speed..? are you running 10s? i doubt it...$3k for a swap...thats alot of money

keep your auto...its not worth it...best choice...sell your car for a manual...it'll be the cheapest thing to do

ssajdowitz · October 27th, 2006, 12:39 AM

Well, I guess I'm driving the GT's worst nightmare. Right now I'm pushing at least 300 at the wheels. Check out my mods in my garage.

My automatic only lasted 7000 miles before it blew. After a bunch of research, I couldn't find any automatics that are rated for that much power for a reasonable price. I could have swapped in a built T-5, but that would cost just under $2000 just for the tranny. I'm glad I spent the extra $300 for the 6th gear. It's the 2nd best mod I've done (supercharger is 1st) to my car. Besides, I'm tired of running at 3000rpm down the freeway. Now I run 2200 rpm.

In all actuality, the 6-speed was my 2nd cheapest option with a very long life.

It sounds to me like someone's jealous.

itschristorres8 · October 27th, 2006, 12:50 AM

lol actually i wouldnt mind have a 6 speed at all...especially when im tryin to save gas....i wish it didnt cost so much

hp wise...i wouldnt mind 300hp with a s/c but i'd rather have 300hp all motor

rednsilver91 · October 27th, 2006, 01:45 AM

you guys are so silly... why go through the trouble of swapping when you can just buy your car manual in the first place??

Cricket · October 27th, 2006, 01:57 AM

cuz we like to mess with stuff. Also I want to throw a 6 speed in my car. I would love to have a 6 speed v6 mustang.

ssajdowitz · October 27th, 2006, 08:52 AM

I originally wanted a quick shifting auto. So I put a 3000 rpm stall converter in. That didn't hold up long.

My car has been supercharged and built for almost 2 years. The tranny swap happened 3 months ago. I had way too much money in my car by that time.

itschristorres8 · October 27th, 2006, 11:41 AM

i have a manual...but a 6 speed is just everything and more

jagstang89 · October 30th, 2006, 06:22 PM

yes but how much is the instalment and its veryhard to find a cheap mustang in iowa with manuals so idk what to do?

you should quote the torque with that, it would be a 'bit' more impressive and would explain your blow trannies, lol

but, yeah, you car is how a modded v6 should be

6spd, the way to go! (apparently) 2200 at freeway speed without having to worry about racing in too steep of gears, awesome!

ssajdowitz · October 30th, 2006, 07:33 PM

I'll get some dyno numbers some day. I want to wait until I put the .570 lift cam in and 15% overdrive blower pullies first. And, I should get rid of those cats.

If anybody knows where I can get a good deal on a set of adjustable roller rockers, I'm looking.
