An intake manifold job can be intimidating for some. It's not all that hard to do. If you don't have all the tools, there's no sense in tackling that job, much less a T-5 swap.:no In my opinion, I would do a T-5 swap, a few power shifts and the transmission will be toast anyhow and need another rebuild. If you are swapping to a 5 speed, look into a G-Force or TKO 500 or TKO 600. They hold up much better. I'd rather have a built automatic than a stick shift any day.:tomato

+1 on the built clicker, but I have told you this in the past......you can build a bad ass auto that will handle more power than that t5 any day of the week. But if you are not planning any mods and just want to rip on the car with stock power than just put in the 5 spd it will "seem" faster to you

yeah just wait till they get a good hook on drag radials......will sound like someone shaking a coffee can full of nails.....IDK I have seen some T5's take beatings ryan dumped some major beatings on his and was ok
Personally I think you should get one of those power 24/7 fukker transmissions

very true, i power shifted mine alot after i got it, and 2nd gear is about shot, when i'm downshifting into 2nd gear the only way i can get it in without grinding or popping outta gear is to rev it up to about 3000 and slide it in easy while the rpms are falling back down, and i have very little power at all,

..you can take a brand new mustang with a 5 spd and trash the trans in a week if you really try

but i agree i don't beat on it as much anymore but in the 1st 3 or 4 months i owned the car i beat the dog **** out of it. But now 2nd has gotten so bad i rarely use 2nd when i'm just driving around town, its usually 1st-3rd-4th.

You are wrong there...the aod with very little money can be built to handle 700-1000 HP a t5, I dont care what you do will never handle that
