Hey team,
I'm taking a look at other feasible options for manual transmission swaps and the T5 has crossed my radar. Yes, I've searched! I'm looking for something pain free, I do understand that the T56 is the new 'hot stuff' but it appears to require a fair amount of work to make fit and gather the necessary parts. Mostly, the time aspect.
I would not buy a stock T-5 unit. I'm looking at the Astro A-5 unit. They appear to have a good reputation amongst the Mustang crew.
I suppose my question is A) Will it physically fit with a car that originally an AOD? B) What parts are required roughly? C) Has anybody else made this swap?
I'd be going into a car which will not have the low down torque of the roots/twinscrew so I think that may work to my advantage.
