Transmission bolts 45 lb ft I just went through doing auto to 6 speed swap. Lol not as bad as you would think. Good video.
I also wanted to give large ammount of credit to Bob Hanlon Motorsports. Bob has a VERY informative T5 rebuild video that every rebuilder should have thats new to doing them. He goes slow, step by step and even takes the time to go over what to look for when rebuilding them as far as wear and tear. Theres a dozen of need to know small things that he also mentions in that very video. Highly recommended. I would post the video but thats against their policy as they sell the DVD.
great video
Its sounds so easy...
hey danny,
just got done with the your aod to t-5 swap, no real surprises, i love my 92 notch now except maybe the stock 2.73 gears got to go!
thanks for the video and wishing you continued success, and maybe i'll do another swap soon, thanks again
Nice! Big difference aint it lol ?
Hey Neo, I am converting a 4 cylinder coupe to manual trans and V8 now. I swapped the pedal assembly today. It would me a ton if you could post a video about the neutral safety switch and the reverse light connector. Thanks in advance!!!
Ok
Great job on the video! Tons of information and thanks for pointing out how to tell a World Class trans. compared to a 4 cyl. We will be doing the same swap in a couple of weeks.
Thanks again for your time and information.
About 8 hours if you do it right the first time and take your time
great video ...i'm gonna do same thing with my car ... can you post a video of how to connect the safety switch peddle assembly and the Transmission harness please thats all i need to know thxs
T5 swap so worth it
All stock fox blocks are 50oz. They stopped making the 28oz flywheel sometime in the 70's.
I'm putting together a t5 swap for my 91 fox all I need is a catch kit and fly wheel..I'm having a hard time on finding an informative link on how to wire the reverse lite and neutral safty switch to the trans and under the dash
Whats funny about a 4cyl trans? They work in a V8 swap but not for long. They will break when you least expect it. However on a pure stock block, maybe it will last longer. Depends on how you drive it.
I swapped to a t-5 in 3 days in my tbird 5.0 that never came with a stick. Hardest part was removing and reinstalling the exhaust. Aod driveshaft was perfect, btw...
AOD drive shaft is a weighted yolk. Not only will it throw the balance off it will also wear out the rear bushing in the T5 tail shaft.
+Neomustangs Throw off the balance of what? If its on the driveshaft it came with, its balanced with THAT drive shaft.
Weird it did disapear. I didn't use a stick shift driveshaft because there never was one for a 5.0 thunderbird. Mustang one is about 4" too short.
leave it to ford to make two different shifter holes for man. and auto. i did a t5 to aod swap, just opposite of this, id say converting to stick is a bit more difficult
I have been doing T5 swaps for YEARS in and out of fox bodys. This was purely informative and i will delete your comment if your negative. Feel free however to ADD to this blog area if theres other information you deem important pertaining to the swap. I felt the need to post a good informative video for people to browse. I linked together a bunch of movies with my movie maker so i apologize if its a little shaky.
How do u match the imbalance in the 302's? The 28 and 50 ounce imbalance? Are there two different flywheels?
What's better guys tge AOD or the t5
I have an 82 I bought a t5 does the clutch assembly from an srod be the same?
What about the back up light harness ? What do you do to make it work?
There’s a pigtail that’s connects to it. Should clip into the side
So as long as you use the correct o2 harness you can run the t5 computer I have a doner car that I have all the correct parts just don't want to swap body harness if I don't have to
What about that aod shuffle sir?
Whats the AOD shuffle cause im AOD stupid tbh.
@@Neomustangs lol the shifter had 1st drive and over drive on the selector so u start in first when your ready for second u shift from 1st to drive once it shifts pull it back to 1st then it will let u hold second till your ready to shift then u go 1st to drive and it hits 3rd. In some cases I hear holding second can be worth dam near half a sec n the 1/4
Hey Neo I have a 89 gt vert I am currently fixing up bone stock fox unmolested sat in a garage for 15 years I just did head gaskets and pretty much every other part these foxes are known for. it is my own car so it gets that little extra attention but anyways it’s a automatic now the question is .my local salvage yard have a 91 lx t5 transmission that I can get everything for 250$ but I gotta pull it . But before I do if you had any suggestions seeing that you know the foxbody inside and out I would really appreciate any of your input.. thank you very much love your channel...
What suggestions you seek bro
Neomustangs well they are both 5.0 Liters like I said mine is a 89 gt vert automatic and the doner is a 91 lx t5 transmission will that set up work for my 89 can I take everything out of the 91 and put it In my 89 will I have any electrical issues to attend with ? What parts besides the transmission it’s self the bell housing ,the pedals the drive shaft ,cross member and flywheel what else should I take of the doner for my swap ?
Is there another part of this video it just stops! I know how to change a transmission I wanted to see the o2 harness & reverse light i
James Voss video is fine
Neomustangs I was wondering about the o2 harness if the 89 has the loop in them to! I got a t5 harness and a o2 harness from Tim at PonyPerfomance I have a 87 4cyl aod notch great shape do a V8 have a 89 harness plug in play ! Just didn't hear about the reverse light wire then it cut off! I tried to see if you finish making the video with the maf?
i want to change my A/T to M/T do you know of a place in NY unless your in NY
That is either a V6 94+ transmission (which is equivelent to an 87-89 trans) same foot poundage. Or its a NON world class trans. So be careful
Why swap the 02 or mass air harness?
Because the ECus are different pinout
@@Neomustangs I'm not changing ecu
Holy shit bruh take breath ! Great video though
… Lot of info... so little time.... gotta go … haha
Im getting ready to do this swap but not planning on any harness changes. Am I gonna have issues?
John Adams what Ecu
@@Neomustangs a9t
It’s ok you can run with that.
@@Neomustangs cool, thanks!
Is it worth doing this? I’ve been thinking about this for years.
I mean it’s definitely worth looking into if the aod is having issues
hey Danny having issues with the pedals looks like where the clutch stop on the metal hook by the fire wall won't fit did you cut it or shave it abit or did u cut into the dash???
No I don't cut anything. Pedals that is.
Then why not pull the weight off, like i did? If you really want ill email you a link to my swap. The weight falls off a lot of the time since its held on with a rubber ring. I have 60k miles on mine since march 2013 without issue.
BAll park, what kind of $$$ is a person looking at for this swap. Parts and labor.
It depends on what you get parts from. There’s a lot of parts to really do this swap correctly that most don’t even sell you. I sell the swap and I have had nothing but excellent response from customers about the detail. You could salvage parts here and there might take you away. You could get it as cheap as 1k and as much as 3k. Price Varys. As for labor. I charged quite a few customers 1k in labor and they were ok with it. So it right and clean bout 10 hours
Neomustangs WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED????
Special Operator north east Ohio
Neomustangs Damn it !! I’m in Ga. but born and raised in Columbus! Go Bucks.
@@specialoperator8902 YES GO BUCKS!
Lol, delete my post because i didn't agree with ya. The stock aod yoke is identicle except for the weight which is easily removed.
No one deleted your post.... Im not really interested in you trying to correct me either. That's not what this post is about. And I appreciate you sharing the fact that the weight comes off. I never thought to try that. I just put the correct manual driveshaft in.
+lilsammywasapunkrock Is the weight a vibration dampener, or there for balance? I cant see how it would be a problem if left on. The guy in the video just said its wrong, but gave no reason. Also, Neomustangs referred to the driveshaft he put on as a manual one, what does that mean? The yolk is the only difference I can see and have never heard of anyone making a distinction between a auto and Manuel driveshaft.
+Anthony Wayne it is a harmonic dampener. a weight with a rubber cushion designed to dampen vibrations, nothing more. there is no difference between the driveshafts at all except for this small pressed on peice. the cast iron ring is prone to cracking and most fall of or become missing over time anyways.
the yolks are only slightly different in splined length, not function.
+lilsammywasapunkrock Thank you for that. It would seem then, however, that leaving it on would not be a bad thing if it's there just to dampen vibration...and if the splines were compatible. =) Do AOD's have vibration issues that the T5 doesn't? Perhaps he should have just mentioned the spline difference and not say that it's just wrong, as if it was the weight itself that made it so.
P.S. Mine is defect free, and the car is now 24 years old!
+Anthony Wayne aod's came with a lower ratio (numerically higher) final drive ratio. the faster the driveshaft spins the more noticeable out of balance issues become. personally I would just knock it off and forget about it. lots of guys will tell you something will or won't work and preach it as gospel.
I bought a 03 v-6 sn-95 t-5 for $150 off Craigslist. everyone said it wouldn't work and the driveshaft would be 3/4" too long. when I finished the swap the driveshaft sat 1/8" further out of the trans which I decided was due to the 200lbs or so of weight reduction with a manual swap. the shifter lined up perfectly with the hole I cut and lined up right in the cutout of a stock turbo coupe console trim ring, which had the 2.3 turbo with a t-5.
long story short bunch of mustang guys said I couldn't use the 3.8 Bell housing and I'd need to swap the input shaft and spend money on a new bellhousing. instead I ended up just using a stock f-150 clutch and flywheel and starter. I could have used the 94-04 mustang clutch, but it cost over $100 more.
I have a C-4 in my '86 lx. What it takes to swap to t5?
Pretty much everything
