Manual or Automatic?

[webestang64]

Both my Mustangs have auto's but my 88 vert 5.0 is getting a B&M ratchet shifter for the AOD so I can shift like a manual. I might go to a T-5 manual when I upgrade my 85 4-banger to a 5.0.

Convert the 4 banger to a 2.3T w/5 spd I used to have an 85 SVO and it was a blast. If you do this, install a Pro 5.0 short throw shifter.

Anyhow, make sure the B&M comes with a reverse lock out...don't want to get carried away slamming gears and accidentally shift into reverse. I've used a number of B&M shifters, my favorite was the Pro Stick

Neither. The Tesla Model S 85D doesn't have a transmission.

What if my truck has an auto trans, but manual choke, locking hubs and transfer case?

Then it is time to buy a new truck that was made in this century.

I miss having a three pedal car in the garage, but i change cars like most people change socks so we'll just have to see what comes next lol

And agreed, paddle shifting doesn't count. Even my Silverado has that.

 

[bribrius]

your silverado has paddle shifts? i was just happy to get rid of the manual locking hubs..

Manual with cruise control.

A 4-banger turbo has crossed my mind. When I look for a donor car next year I'll keep an eye out for a T-Bird Super Coupe turbo for power train.
And the B&M shifter I bought for the does have the reverse lock out.

Are we considering A, S, and P modes auto?

Auto. Too much city/traffic for me to consider manual.

87-88 TC....these come with intercoolers for one thing and better ECMs. You will want an Auto ECM if you plan to run an auto or Manual ECM for manual gear box.

Anyhow, I'm not sure if their still around but there used to be a site called Turboford.org. These guys know this swap blind folded! The 2.3T is a fun motor, almost bullet proof as well. I ported my head, installed a roller cam, port matched intakes, installed a 3" down pipe with 3" exhaust. Just say I upset a couple 5.0 Stangs in my day with that setup

This only counts if you own the car.

Well count it up there score boy!!!!

The Honda Pilot Touring is an automatic
The Dodge Pickup is a manual.
The Wifes Toyota is also an automatic, but I never drive it.

I got all the bases covered.

Those are the ones to seek out. I'm on foureyedpride web site, they have an entire section dedicated to SVO's and turbo's so I'll have lots of help. I could just rebuild the 2.3 in there now and add a turbo.
