hi travis and everyone else,
My name is james I'm 19 years old with very little experince of working on cars, my dad is a retired desel and auto mechanic.
I plan on doing a few things to my t-bird.
I have a 93 5.0HO t-bird, basicly stock with a stock body kit.
High miles on body, over 200K, and decently low miles on rebuilt engine, less than 80K..
I found the car at a local pawn shop that was going out of buisness, my dad knew the owner and remebered my love for fords, particularly mustangs, told me about the car and i went and check it out and bought it 3 days later.
I wanted to ask you something based on the fact that you seem to know something about cars as a mechanical aspect.
My trans just went out, and although I'm going to have another auto trans in by the end of this month. I'm wanting to put a manual (t5) 5spd trans into the car.
Can you tell me every part that I need and how much trouble do you thing this swap/mod will be?
I plan on buying a remanufactured t5, and i know i need a clutch, pedal, I guess a fly wheel, and a few other things, could you tell me all the things i need. Would you give me your advice and your opipion.
Thanks, James B.
