Anyone ever do this in a SC? I have an 89 that's AOD is worn out. I kinna wanna do a 5spd and just happen to have a freshly rebuilt borg warner. I've seen people do this with mustangs and was just wandering if any of you had tips or comments on this.

Thanks

You DONT want to put a t-5 behind a 3.8 SC motor. It wont last. That article was written with a M5R2 Swap. I dont think the T-5 would last with the 300+ ft/lbs are engine puts out & thats why ford put the M5R2 in instead.

Mine lasted fine and worked well. I am kinda disappointed I am pulling it to put a c6 behind the motor, but I need the auto for off-rod racing. Steve
