i have a 95 gt vert.
alright, i have decided that i am definatly going to get the manual tranny people are telling me that the t5 should do alright with what i already have.
but im not shure, i was stil thinking of a tremec 3550
i have decided that i am going to get a king cobra clutch kit
and i dont know about a shifter, what do u guys think?
i have never had a manual car before but i dont think it will take long to learn it.
now the new questions.
what type of shifter should i get,
I NEED DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS on the swap preferably with pics, if anyone knows a good website please let me know.
also i need to know a place that sells the complete kit.
what im worried about is messing with the computer, and harness and i heard that you have to cut around the shifter hole about an inch, not shure, any info from experience would be great!

If you do not like what you see here, then you can buy a chilton manual or take it to a mechanic of your liking that can do it for you.
That is no way to respond to a helpful reply to your request. Anyway, with such a simple swap I do not know what detail you need.
whoooa there jumping to conclusions im not ungrateful im just a bit frustrated because i have found that same article several times.
and i dont belive it is just a simple swap.. because i have heard of a lot of people having problems doing it.

OK,
I have done the swap a few times and need to help you out here. Can you change the tranny out? The cross member is the same, flip the mount around......The torque converter and everything comes off and on goes the flywheel and clutch. The driveshaft is the same and is very simply connected and disconnected. Rip out all the tranny cooler lines and the cooler. The wiring is a snap and doesnt even really need to be hooked up, it just controls the neutral safety switch which you dont really want anyway, when you need to turn the car over from the window when working on it anyhow. The steering column comes out and the old pedal assembly is replaced by the new one. Run your cluch cable accordingly. The computer DOESNT have to be changed!!!! The car is almost there. Fill with fluid, take tin snips and open the hole to allow the shifter to fit, bolt in from the top uing a dab of RTV and Wallah....5 SPEED. I know I may have left out a few things, but I know the guys are going to jump all over that.
Really it is not that hard, and all you need to do is get all the parts and go for it. The first time I did it I had no clue how to and it took us a whole Saturday with 2 buddies and alot of brew. ....Be appriciative of the assistance you get on the forums though, nobody is obligated to help anyone else out. Good luck man!

belive me i appriciate it, i wasnt being ungrateful.
and will this work with a tremec tko? i might be able to get one, with a bellhousing do i have to do anything special there, and i dont understand about the shifter hole mods, is there anything i need to put on it to keep it from rusting and stuff.
and what are the parts i need.
i want at least a King cobra clutch kit, and a steeda quadrent adjust cable assy.
MABY a pro 5.0 shifter. is that an easy mod to install later?with out taking the tranny out? also have you done this on a 95 mustang???
Sheesh it would be great if they had a video or sumthin trans swap for dummies

I know that the tremec needs to be modified slightly and requires a different bellhousing and a special shifter bought specifically for the tremec. As for the hole cut for the shifter, it shouldnt rust as mine didnt, matbe its just the location and everytime the car is driven it heats up and drys any moisture out. You will see when you do it, the hole needs very little modification and can actually be done with a screwdriver and a Gerber. The steeda quadrant is a bolt on without any work done and the clutch decission is up to you.Run a thread and get some feedback on what clutches work the best for everyone. Last I checked everyone is running either the Spec stage2 and the Centerforce Dual Friction. Anything 10.5 I believe. As for the tremec, PM Fordgasm and ask him what the tremec install requires as opposed to the standard WC tranny.

ok before i buy this tranny from this guy, how can i make shure that this bellhousing will work for me?
i belive he said its from a 1995 cobra, and the TKO and bellhousing were installed on his 88 gt i belive. he drove it for 10 miles. then he sold the car.
i think he said the bell housing is the kind with 6 bolts.. im not sure
ill get more detail today.

ok now wait a minute.. somersdp says you dont need a different driveshaft. if you have a 94-95 then it does require a different driveshaft. if your using a fox then NO you dont as he states. the holes for the mount may need to be enlarged as i had to do this on my gt.

jruppert,
You are absolutely correct and I was under the assumption that he was dealing with a fox for some reason. The driveshaft should need to be cut about an inch but I think a little more if the Tremec is going in there. I am not the most knowledgable in this area and need some help with these specs. I am going to talk to a few people and get back to this thread a little later. Sorry guys......

I knew you knew what you were talking about. I just noticed that your picture had a fox in it so I was under the assumption that you were referring to the fox install. The spline is different on the tremec also. He would need to change the yoke on the driveshaft. Ford Racing sells the driveshaft for 94-95 that is aluminum and balanced with the correct yoke. This is what I have on my mustang. I think it sells for around $170
