Doing T5 conversion on any foxbody is really straight forward whether it's a factory V8 or 4 banger so dont get overwhelmed. No aftermarket parts required unless you upgrade the clutch quadrant which I strongly recommend over the factory plastic crap Ford used

@@BREW2LFOXBODY I want to do this with my 2.3 liter but the crossmember in mine is different than the aod. My transmission is the a4ld and im not sure how many times I had this out of this car. I was able to uninstall it and install it pretty easy the last time around. For now im just done messing around with this anymore. Since I want to redo the front seats and most of the interior I may as well go all the way.

@MiturBinEsderty 4 ай бұрын

Worth every penny. Auto foxbody Mustangs tended to be owned by women and older people. So the cars are in way better shape. Have lower miles and are cheaper. I paid 11k for a LX 5.0 convertible with 25k miles garages since new two owners. I’m not drag racing you can keep your 25 grand notch.

What about the ECM? According to Neomustangs, you need to change the computer or you will probably have some idle or drivability issues. Have you experienced anything like that?

You do not need to change your computer, the A9P from the the car will work just fine with the 5 speed. The A9L won’t work with the auto though.
