Hi I am considering converting my 2002 P71 to a standard. Hate auto, love standard !!.
Issues I may encounter are: computer management, shifter alignment.
Something better than a T5 ?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank You
Tom

TR-3650 (from a Mustang GT)

Good luck on the conversion. you'll need to do quite a bit of fabrication

I want to swap standard transmission on my 1999 p71 to.

Do you have more information about that? I try search fonction but i'm not satisfy.

T-45 from 96-99 gt mustang is a good choice?

This transmission can drive 325-350 hp? I was supose to put my car supercharged (roots blower) but a I prefer twin small turbo to be more soft with transmission and differential.

My 4r70w realy sucks when it's time to put down power on the track and I extremely prefer manual transmission.

Sorry thomasr to use you thread but it's in the same way.

Thx and sorry for my english, I'm french canadian from Quebec!

There's one or two guys on CVN (Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder, and Towncar) that have done it. You might go over there and ask about it. Most complex part of it is that it requires a tune on the computer so that it doesn't wonder where the transmission went (i.e., it doesn't have an automatic tranny to control anymore, so it makes the engine run funny).

I don't know why you say the 4r70w sucks? Got one in a 4.6 coupe with a 88mm turbo running low 9's. I think just cause its an auto and you perfer a manual I could see that, but they will live under plenty of power. And the car will be faster with an auto with turbo's than rowing the boat.

Just j-mod your 4r70w
