    I had a 3650-swapped 2010 Grand Marquis with 2.5in X-pipe and straight-through mufflers. I... sorely miss it, but changing gears was a pain in my ass that I wasn't always up for, so here I am with my Town Car.
    I still bloody miss it, and sometimes I find myself reaching for the clutch with my left foot.

    When Bob Bondurant's racing school was sponsored by Ford back in the day, Bondurant had a black Crown Vicky with a natural 4.6 Cobra engine and 6 speed manual as a teacher's car. It was written about in one of the many motorhead magazines I used to get back in the day.

    How much would it cost for a shop to purchase parts and implement a 2001-2004 Mustang 5 speed manual transmission, retune computer, modify driveshaft (if needed) and add a clutch into my 2011 CVPI? I currently have my O/D gear going out and my torque converter also needs to be replaced. Cost is about $2,200 total to rebuild. Would you recommend I rebuild or swap? Thanks!

  • @Liamc62
    @Liamc62 2 года назад +14

    I'm rather surprised with as many Panther bodied Fords, Lincolns and Mercs as there are out there that the aftermarket hasn't embraced a Tremec 5 speed and 6 speed conversion kit. I looked at the cross member and was thinking that that would be an integral part of a swap. They could also have a new center console support, a template on where to cut the shifter hole and a new console or a way to adapt a current console.

    • @Gideon_Judges6
      @Gideon_Judges6 2 года назад +5

      I'd imagine at the very least you would need to hardwire the interlock to let the engine start without a Park or neutral selection. Also to be able to remove your key afterwards. You could even rig that up to a new clutch switch. Maybe he did that in the vid and I missed it? Multitasking here...
