Auto to Standard on a '95 Bird

[Surrexi]

Ive got a loaded 95 LX 4.6L V8 and its my first automatic car, and I hate it. I wanna put a manual tran into it, but I dont know if this is feasable or cost effective. Im just a kid who likes to play with cars, however I still wanna try and do this, Ill get the manual etc, but is it possible?

Ive heard a Stang t45 fits well in a tbird, this true?

If not, ne suggestions?

You can't get a 95 thunderbird Lx with a 5 speed, but you can get a mustang with a 5 speed. You can also get a thnderbird sc with a 5 speed you will need parts from both of these in order to make it work. The reason I haven't done it is the cost.

If you have the money go for it!!!!!!!!

Go to tccoa t-45 tranny swap and look at all that is involved. It is a fairly decent step by step. Some people have done it and some of those who have will tell you it is way too much effort.

get a super cope and be done

Amen hammrgead35

heck if you really want the V8 it would be easier to do a motor swap in a super coupe than changing the tranny.
