Whats required to do an auto to 5 speed swap? Need a list or opinions.

[snoball]

Had an aode with a 3000 stall, blew third and fourth on that one. Swapped in a 4r70w and its slipping and making me lose power,shifts etc. So i have a parts car 95 gt that was a five speed w/71xxx miles. So i should have most of the parts.

What I have..

Tranny
Crossmember
driveshaft
pedals
Computer (?? do i need to swap or what do i do??)
shifter bezel

What i need or think i do

Clutch/flywheel/dustshield
quadrant
clutch cable

Other than that am i missing anything? Any problems people have encountered?? My car is fairly stock, just a 93 ported cobra intake, tfs 1 cam, gears exhuast, underdrives. I was thinking of going turbo but that needs a built motor so i may do a 125 shot on it.

don't forget to install a pilot bearing and use a good clutch flywheel/clutch and TOB. You have it down though. Get a good shifter as well as a good bearing retainer. Use a FRPP clutch cable and quadrant kit.

So is the computer just unplug the auto, swap in the 5 speed one and its good to go??

I looked for the frpp kit but cant seem to find it, anyone got a link?

 

[Steven]

yes, unplug and plug back in. Make sure to unhook the battery and that the connections and pin's are in good working order. The FRPP cable is basically a stock cable with an adjustable end. Best well made cable to get.

Thanks yeah i have everything there except the quadrant, flywheel, dust shield, flexplate a fw lil bolts etc. I cant believe a t-5 is 950... i paid 1000 for the whole car and it has 71xxx miles but was wrecked. Parted it out and have the 5 speed stuff left.
