- In this video we head over to Ken’s Auto Repair in Billerica, MA to go over the process of putting a T-45 5 Speed Manual Transmission in Jon’s Crown Victoria Sport.
All parts were purchased from ADTR.NET Авто/Мото
What the Marauder should have been. Great job!
Props to your guy for actually soldering and heat shrinking those wires.
Basically a large 4 door 2 valve mustang. Great car!
Crew cab mustang
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.
i got a ride in a Bondurant instructor car years and years back. First 5 spd crown vic i ever rode in. Wanted one ever since!
This is a great video. I like manual swapping. That machine used at 13:58 looks pretty cool. I wish I had one of those I can easily do the oil change without making a mess
Oh, I loved the final product too.
that crown Vic sounds so clean
Great work
the Kaahpet!!!! you guys made this look easy!! great vid
Awesome job, would love to have that in my 2011 LX Sport.
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.
They had several Crown Vics modified by Roush.
If my memory serves me correctly, Bondurant built a manual transmission 6.8 V-10 car as well
That actually looks like a blast! Great video brotha 🤙
Thought about this for my Lincoln but half the problem knowing is the trans your swapping in any good. Lotta work to find out its one step up from a coffee grinder. Nice video Jay thanks for posting.
There are transmission shops that will rebuild manuals but true they are few and far between.
@@carguysnewengland ?? manuals are way easier to rebuild than autos every shop around my area rebuilds them
Inspiration brother, thanx for sharing..
You’re welcome
Great video!
4:20 It's ten, Kenny; always has been.
Awesome build. Hope to try this someday
Awesome swap wish he was in California...
Nice I want to manual swap my marauder one day
Woo very nice video
Thank you
I looked into getting a newer Charger and swapping it, but it was gonna be like 12k and it'd never run right. This sounds like a better option.
Big shock. Heck Mopar.
Yessir you can have the same kinda fun in these things lol
Awesome I've been wanting to do this to my 2000 Crown Vic interceptor I got a 5-speed borgon Warner I want to put in it
What the left leg was always meant to do in the p71 😂
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!
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.
ADTR performance sells a kit to swap a TR3650 (?) and a 6 speed for these cars.
I need this car love crown Vic’s i definitely get it swapped too
This guy is a professional these mechanics a re getting scarce
JEALOUS !
What size spacer did you use on the yoke?
Will a cvpi 2008 aluminum driveshaft work with the t45 trans or will I need to buy a different driveshaft?
Which trans is good for a 1997 base crown vic. Goal is lifted n used simple offroading/baby step crawling. And somewhat daily driver
Are you going to upgrade the rear arms? The manual trans puts more strain on the bushings.
Hey I have an 09 mercury grand marquis LS ultimate edition That I would love to swap
how did you go about your clutch peddle build one with existing brake peddle and mustang clutch assembly or something else?
I wish I had the knowhow and the tools to do this myself. It would save me a heap of money and I’d have a good daily driver that I’m not afraid to take on backroads with gravel and abysmal potholes. Guess I’ll just buckle up and spend the extra 3k to have it installed for me…
G8 video have not seen manual in a car for quite a while.
Professional grade😀
What kind of computer issues do you have to address ? Does it need a new computer, or reprogrammed or flashed , etc ? What other electrical issues will be encountered ? Great looking swap !
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...
Wonder if it varies alil bit with 2000 mercury grand marquis ls
The bell housings are not the same as a 98+ v6 mustang are they
Interesting 🧐 swap
How much did this swap cost?
would this work in a 04-08 f150 with the 4.6?
What pedal setup did he use? Install looks factory,NICE.
So nice. Too bad I live on the West Coast, I would totally do this to my CVPI.
I got a 2005 crown vic police interceptor. Would love 2 convert to a manual
T56 XL might fit better. The shifter is located further back on the tail of the trans.
So whats the name of the model of the manual transmisions that can put on my crown victoria?
There are a few options this was a T45
I will do the same thing to my Mercury Grand Marquis
WHAT WERE THE LABOR COSTS ???
Whats the cost to swap the vic ?
How much does a swap like that cost
What is the flywheel and starter out off ?? I want to do this to mine
A mustang gt with the manual and the 4.6
How do you get the engine light and wrench light off for the automatic transmission after the swap?
Following
how much did it cost
I HAVE A 2002 VIC I WILL DOING THIS TRANS SWAP ONE QUESTION DO I NEED A TUNING PROGRAM FOR THE SWAP
Yes
hello, im wondering what you did for the ecu? im undertaking this right now and man, the ecu part is a real doozy
Marty of Mo’s provided a tune via email
Dang thank you for the quick reply that’s crazy fast, did you go through sct tuner or hp tuners for it? I have both and I guess I could try and get ahold of Marty to see what he recommends, I just want to be have everything I need for it
@@thejardz4787 YW. The owner of this car got a tune and programmed SCT x4 from Marty… when he was ready to go manual he had Marty update it for him via email
How much would a car like this cost I want one so bad
I could certainly use some consultation and help to do it just advice
Cost of build? For swap
How much does a job like this cost?
hey i’m also from new hampshire and i have a 2006 grand marquis and i wanan do a manual swap how much does he charge to swap it?
Hit me up on DM in our Instagram @carguysnewengland
i dmed u
What is approximate costs to make the transmission swap?
3k plus
Depends on who’s doing the work
it looks like a mustang transmission. I love the idea of swapping however driving a legendary crown vic with a mustang transmission is kind of weird.
The gt and vic that year had the same 4.6 2v v8 so a tr3650 off a gt should bolt right up basically with the least modifications necessary.
I'm here for the clutch pedal info
where is the center console from?
It’s a sport console out of a CV sport or Marauder
What transmission did you use?
T45
This is like Sopranos and rich rebuild made a baby I love y’all I have a grand marquis and I wanna 5 speed her so hard
5 speed stick shift, better fuel mileage, you have better control of your car😊
Wow only took you 2 minutes to remove the transmission impressive
Looks like a beaver chewed that cut out haha
Is Kens shop closed or sold now?
No
What transmission are you all using
??? What transmission did u put in
Junk automatic
tr3650 or t45 will both work
How much is labor for this?
Your looking at least two days of worth of labor roughly 24 total hours… rates would depend on the shop you choose
Does Ken do those swaps regularly and do you know how much he charged for that thanks buddy awesome content!
This was his first swap but he’s very familiar with the Panther Platform. Swap is about 2k out there door not including parts
Awesome
@@erichazlehurst5557 this is what i was looking for thanks for asking for me very interested from nh might have to see if they’ll swap mine
@@carguysnewengland can he do marauder?
Automotive "fabricators" haha always make for a good laugh
Why wouldn't you drain and clean befere installing it in the car?!
What would that help with? The trans it perfectly level when installed in the car and it doesn’t need the insides cleaned or anything..
Ford screwed up in a lot of ways with the crown vic. I daily my 08 LX and its a great car but for starters, they couldve began offering it with a manual and center console instead of just the bench seats.
How model transmission?
T45
"Looks good" might be an overstatement after that hack job for the shifter handle lol.
The customer said he would finish that off
Ford v8s sound amazing, except for any Coyote.
The coyote sounds the best 😮
@@lethargicstove2024 4.6 4v ftw
@@DF-eg1ix valid, 2v and 3v also sound very good, but if I had to pick I'd go with the crown Vic with the 2v
@@lethargicstove2024 let's not forget the voodoo 5.2 flat crank.
@@DF-eg1ix I mean the voodoo is very similar to the coyote but sounds even better.
Nice but I know that cost a small fortune to do
Just get a mustang
Not as cool
Nothing can shift faster than a automatic
Dude... what is your target viewer with that stupid background music/noise?... closed the video after 25 seconds...
Horrible gangster rap music.
Automatic transmission garbage! Manual transmission and a clutch pedal forever.
Call me dumb but after i get my 2002 marquis running properly and perfectly and i swap out the air suspension to coil overs, im going for the manual swap.
Hey man I have a lot of questions do you have a Facebook or something where I could talk to you? I have a 2008 Lincoln town car I am trying to build and I need a little help. If there is anyway you could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
