had to support what you are doing... very cool video displaying what needs to be done for the swap... very detail... people wilol thank you to the high heavens good show Vince
great site and ive appreciated all of the info youve posted thus far. i have a 2003 that i just got the 4r70w out of this weekend. if you dont mind, i have two questions i cant find the answers for: 1. when i remove the auto trans cooler lines, how do i plug them at the radiator end? 2. for the parts of the auto wiring harness that arent used with my new t45, do i just ziptie them out of the way or cap them off somehow or what? thanks and keep up the great content!
diet sausage trans cooler will eventually leak out.. I never plugged mine, I just let it leak out and hit it with a tiny tiny bit of compressed air to get the fluid out. And yes, I zip tied my wires out of the way. You can also cut them off and cap the ends. So it clean. I’ll probably do that with my new one next week.
you are a blessing from the heavens bro i just bought a 1996 crown vic police intercepter but the stock transmition is slipping like a mf so im going to do a manual swap and mod other parts of the car as well
@@neverendingcarproject I respect how you get down.. I use to live in Bensalem so that helped also for me subbing to the channel. Thank you for the info
The Pittman arm is always more expensive and better then a rack. Racks are cheaper. Today in these times only super expensive cars will have a control arm and double clutch gear box. That is high performance and high end equipment. Much better handling. You can also go faster in the old one. More metal and less plastic. Always better. You should switch the interiors out and have the new interior. Or you could mix panels on the outside. I will be making a 5 speed, with convertible and trunk racks.
@Vincent Sulak I was wondering if you could link the pierre guys youtube channel, the tuner shop, and the parts you used. The videos are very useful and keep up the great work man
What’s up dude Thanks for the info to convert into a 5 speed I have a 2008 Lincoln town car executive L series . It’s 6 inches longer than a regular crown Vic or town car . Is it possible for me to convert into a 5 speed. ?
Everything should be the same, but I’m not 100% about the driveshaft. You will probably need a small driveshaft spacer because the manual transmission is shorter.
I already have an SCT tuner programmed to my car. Will this fellow in Georgia still be able to send me a code? I think it goes without saying that paying hundreds for another of the same thing is... less than ideal.
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!
This answered my "what drive shaft question" for me. Thank you so much. U just saved me 800 for new aluminum drive shaft👍👍👍. Ive got 2010 p7b. Auto is going out.
Question! Flywheel bolts?! Something that's never talked about in any 5spd swap videos. Manuals have a longer bolt as the flywheel is thicker than the original CVPI flex plate. And that's where I'm hung up on my project. Did you just use the original shorter bolts that come with that automatic? Or did you hunt down the Mustang manual flywheel bolts? I almost wanted to try and use my original ones, but I just can't get comfortable with them as there's only 5-6 threads to work with.
@vincent sulak i have 1999 gt mustang with a tr3650 manual tranmission.motor badso i did a swapped with a 2004 grand marquis the clutch will fit but the dowel pins wont. I want to know what kind of flywheel i will need for that motor
So... Is the computer going to throw a code or anything for not having an auto trans plugged in? What has to be done to the wiring harness?... Anything??
I just got my swap done and for some reason the electric fan is kicking on as soon as the engine is started. I mean even when its cold and hasn't ran for hours. And of course all I done was a swap. Never done anything under the hood except disconnect the battery ... that's it. Is this something you came across before? Also I haven't retune the computer yet .... could this be why the fan runs constantly?
hey, I have a 2010 CVPI and im kinda new to the whole car scene. I'm looking to replace my stock transmission with a 5speed manual, would you recommend i just copy your list and try putting it together or is there anything else i should buy aswell?
Dominic 5.55 never looked at the kit they make. The tune and scanner are pretty important. I don’t think that’s included, always seemed too expensive for me. I’ve done 3 with out that kit.
Another question - regarding the flywheel, I've been running into trouble on the internet trying to find the right one, believe it or not. The internet's giving me flywheels for every Mustang EXCEPT the six-bolt SOHC V8. Will a 5.0 flywheel do?
The tune and scanner is $650 Used trans tr3650 (that’s been rebuilt) $450 Clutch kit $250 Used clutch pedal assembly $250 Transmission yoke $91 BBK clutch cable kit. $110 $100-$200 for other stuff, trans fluid, u-joint for the driveshaft, and some other stuff that’s slipping my mind.
Jaylon Ramos the transmission is going to be your biggest wild card. I searched for weeks until I bought one. My old 2006 crown Vic, I bought the first one I found and it was pretty sloppy
My manual swap in my 08 Vic was around 2 thousand. I bought all the best of the best parts though. Making your own pieces and buying a used trans instead of a reman'd one will save you a little bit of money.

Subscribed got an 06 p71 the auto I have has 3 different neutrals lol looking forward to attempting to do the 5 speed swap great video
Also do I need to do a hydraulic clutch or a mechanical

@@neverendingcarproject sweet, thanks a lot!
diet sausage the connectors on my 06 were exposed for almost 2 years, never caused an issue.
@@neverendingcarproject good to know!
Oh yes, I'm gonna do this for 2021.
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this.
Subbing you.
What goes around comes around.

Hey...great video and very helpful for my 2005 PI manual swap. I was wondering what shifter you used and shift boot....love the look of that!!
Outstanding…. I’m gonna’ do one to one of mine… Thanks for the true “hotrodding”…

Would it be smog legal in California???
Going to record it an post it on TH-cam
Big shout out to you ;)
Thanks for the reply dude.
How did u do the swap with the older rear mount
The terminator cobras (2003-04) had a t56 6 speed in it.
ATX-CVPI yeah people do it. Transmission cost as much as the car if you own a 2V.
T56 prices are too much for me. I’m fine with the 3650
I already have an SCT tuner programmed to my car. Will this fellow in Georgia still be able to send me a code? I think it goes without saying that paying hundreds for another of the same thing is... less than ideal.
The Masquerade - Narcissism from the Inside yup.
@@neverendingcarproject Excellent. I'll contact him tonight.
Thanks a lot man , that’s very useful to me.

Where’d you get that driveshaft? Custom made or off another vehicle? Looks awesome man!
Jimmy Page stock p71 from 03+ driveshaft. With the correct yoke. No spacer or needed.
This answered my "what drive shaft question" for me. Thank you so much. U just saved me 800 for new aluminum drive shaft👍👍👍. Ive got 2010 p7b. Auto is going out.
I'm in Philly to do you still have the Crown Vic?
By the way my case will be also a challenge since I'm going to be using the mustang pedals because my clutch is hydraulic.

You need flywheel bolts for a 01-04 manual transmission mustang.
@@neverendingcarproject thank you sir.
@vincent sulak i have 1999 gt mustang with a tr3650 manual tranmission.motor badso i did a swapped with a 2004 grand marquis the clutch will fit but the dowel pins wont. I want to know what kind of flywheel i will need for that motor
Henriet Forbes 99 came with a t45.
Clutch pedal will not work. Needs to be custom.
04 mustang gt flywheel. 6 bolt.
hey, so if you do the swap you dont need new different size driveshaft? you can use same one just with different yolk?
You need a different yoke on a P71 driveshaft
So... Is the computer going to throw a code or anything for not having an auto trans plugged in? What has to be done to the wiring harness?... Anything??
You will have a codes for the trans without a tune. If the car is newer than 05 it will go to into safe mode. Needs a tune.
I just got my swap done and for some reason the electric fan is kicking
on as soon as the engine is started. I mean even when its cold and
hasn't ran for hours. And of course all I done was a swap. Never done
anything under the hood except disconnect the battery ... that's it. Is
this something you came across before? Also I haven't retune the
computer yet .... could this be why the fan runs constantly?
You need to tune the car, it has no idea where the transmission is without it.
Could also be something else
hey, I have a 2010 CVPI and im kinda new to the whole car scene.
I'm looking to replace my stock transmission with a 5speed manual, would you recommend i just copy your list and try putting it together or is there anything else i should buy aswell?
Facebook has a group called “manual swapped panthers”
So much information is on that group! Better than my video
@@neverendingcarproject alright cool thank you
Did you have to switch starters for the t45 swap?
No.
What do you think about the ADTR 5 speed swap kit it's around 1500$ and it says all you have to buy is the transmission then just bolt everything up
Dominic 5.55 never looked at the kit they make.
The tune and scanner are pretty important. I don’t think that’s included, always seemed too expensive for me. I’ve done 3 with out that kit.
@@neverendingcarproject ok, thanks for the input
Why isn’t the grill in there? Good video man. 👍🏽
WHOTUCKIS hahahah trying good keep my shirt on for this video man..
Is the driveshaft from the Vic or the mustang?
No. Crown Vic aluminum driveshaft with a mustang yoke.
@@neverendingcarproject thank you
Another question - regarding the flywheel, I've been running into trouble on the internet trying to find the right one, believe it or not. The internet's giving me flywheels for every Mustang EXCEPT the six-bolt SOHC V8. Will a 5.0 flywheel do?
The Masquerade - Narcissism from the Inside 4.6 6 bolts only.
2000-2004 mustang 4.6 gt parts. 6 bolts.
@@neverendingcarproject Aye. I'll keep looking around.
@@AlastorTheNPDemon new flywheels on rock auto are dirt cheap.
I wild never use a used one.
How did you manage to retain your speedometer with the TR3650
nowen97 it’s a 2 wire sensor. Simply wire your 2 wires to the tr3650 sensor.
Plus pay for the tune. It’s a must.
@@neverendingcarproject i see. So the old -02 computer that runs a gear driven speedo accepts a electronic vss?
You have any idea if I could throw a t5 from a mustang on an 88-91 crown vic?
Jim it’s just a 5.0 v8, I don’t see why it wouldn’t would. Not sure what clutch pedal and drive shaft will be needed though.
Is it possible to take the clutch pedal assembly out of a mustang?
Ghettorebuilds no
how much did it cost to do the 5 speed? just want to know how much ill be looking at spending
Jaylon Ramos probably cost me like 2k all said and done.
Vincent Sulak oh that’s not bad i thought it was gonna be more
The tune and scanner is $650
Used trans tr3650 (that’s been rebuilt) $450
Clutch kit $250
Used clutch pedal assembly $250
Transmission yoke $91
BBK clutch cable kit. $110
$100-$200 for other stuff, trans fluid, u-joint for the driveshaft, and some other stuff that’s slipping my mind.
Vincent Sulak thanks man wasn’t expecting a list but that’s gonna be useful. Thanks a lot
Jaylon Ramos the transmission is going to be your biggest wild card. I searched for weeks until I bought one. My old 2006 crown Vic, I bought the first one I found and it was pretty sloppy
Would 03 up p71 drove shady work for my 01 lincoln?
Should.
Anything I should do different with a 2008 crown Vic?
Alex LeBlanc no
Hey can someone tell me where I can buy the pedal assembly for this swap? doing a tr3650 swap to my 07 p71
Adtr.net is only place.
How much $$ would you say that cost bro?
My manual swap in my 08 Vic was around 2 thousand. I bought all the best of the best parts though. Making your own pieces and buying a used trans instead of a reman'd one will save you a little bit of money.
I'm right in south jersey! Can you give me contact info so I can talk to you about swapping my trans?
