Hey boss loved the video. Ive been trying to find the best way to do this for 9 years. I think you have the most straight shot way at doing this even if it s a little franky haha any chance you can source me one of these transmissions. I’m out in SoCal too and I’m dying to get my early model 66 6 cylinder off that paper 3 speed and into something that suits it perfect with that gearing on the 2.3 trans. That 90 horsepower looked like a thousand my friend.

@@v8only I believe I have the same setup as the 65s. There was a split in 66 where they changed the 3 speed transmission for a lil beefier one with synchros. The way you did it is what I’ve been looking for but finding that trans is becoming pretty hard. Might have to opt for a later trans and swap the input shaft and bearing retainer if not. Appreciate the reply. You rock dude.

That's so awesome. I've been anticipating the moment I swap mine in my 68 F100. I think I'll call modern driveline to see what I need. I have Borg Warner T5 it's out of a 96. I tried to take the bell housing off. Once I did, the gears were automatically exposed so I resealed it. So I'm pretty much lost on what transmission I was given. I the tag wasn't there. I only see the Star on it, which says 96. If you have any wisdom on this. Please help! I'm totally lost.

The 96 v6 mustangs had the t5 which you can use if you swap in the shorter input shaft and bearing retainer from a Foxbody. HOWEVER, being that you said you pulled the bell and it exposed everything, that tells me you were given a t45. The v8 mustangs used a t45 from 96_99 or so. You don’t want to use that trans. You’ll need a Foxbody length t5. Read the description on this video. I updated it earlier today on which t5s you can use. Hmu if you have more t5 questions. Since you have the master engine, you aren’t stuck using the small bell and ancient step style flywheel that i did in this conversion. That all changed in 66. You can still use an adapter plate with your old bell, but call modern driveline. They’ll tell you which one

Two last questions. The 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe trans came with the original Yoke still in the tail shaft. It has a softball size, ring, maybe a balancer of some sort. Will that yoke work with the factory drive shaft and will there be clearance enough for it? 2nd question I see a bracket from around your cross member to the trans on a 45 degree angle. Mine doesn't have that. Do I need that?

@@kevindarcy6249 i believe that bracket is for the ebrake. 67+ won’t have that. That ring on the yoke is a balancer. Don’t need that but it won’t hurt. If that’s an aod yoke then the u joints i believe are a little bigger. You may need a conversion u joint. That balancer takes up extra room, so it’ll likely cause you to need you to shorten your drive shaft. C4 or t5 yokes all work. Same 28 spline count

Just FYI, I am probably 80% complete on the same conversion for a 65 Mustang 200. When I went to measure the driveshaft clearance, I saw the same ~3/4" (0.80") clearance between the yoke and back of the transmission with it attached to the differential. But I noticed when I was trying to install it into the differential that I couldn't push the driveshaft all the way forward the full 3/4". I believe that the transmission tail shaft was bumping the inner back of the yoke (purchased from Modern Driveline) before it could be pushed all the way into the back of the transmission, so the yoke was still sticking out about 0.4" with it bottomed out. So my actual clearance was only about 0.4" before the yoke would bottom out on the tailshaft. I'm going to have to get my driveshaft shortened 3/4" to be safe. Just wanted to let everyone know to double check this out and prevent damage. Everything else with the alignment of the transmission and MDL crossmember has fit well so far and your video has been extremely useful J! Thank you so much.

JThompson you video is a ton of help. I ordered the parts you mentioned and bought the 1988 T-Bird T-5 Transmission. The Throwout bearing i recieved is just the bearing without the alignment part. I don't have the old trans out yet, so I don't know if there is an alignment part I can switch off the original or if I need to buy the 67 with the alignment part? But the 1967 1625 bearing is bigger than the retaining sleeve. So I'm guessing I just need to take it off the original and switch it to the 1967 bearing?

@@v8only Thanks man! I got the same M-PACT 07-030 clutch and the M-PACT 260138 pressure plate. Maybe this is just a side effect mostly of the car being in the air still. It actually only happens when the clutch is depressed AND the transmission is in gear, not when it's depressed and in neutral. I haven't test drove it since I need the driveshaft shortened as mentioned previously. It's actually more of a light squealing/rotational sound, so maybe it's just a matter of breaking in the clutch to increase the gap between it and the pressure plate (maybe the clutch is dragging ever so slightly). Or maybe it's a problem with the transmission I got. I think it was a shitty DIY rebuild so it's a bit questionable. The front bearing retainer was installed the wrong orientation and leaked all over the front and the tailshaft to case seal leaks.

@@WasabiMeal sounds to me like your clutch isn’t fully disengaging. With your foot on the clutch in neutral or first gear shouldn’t make a difference. Check with the rear wheels in the air in first gear foot depressed if the rear wheels stop spinning. If they don’t then tighten the clutch adjustment.

@@v8only I finally figured out what the rattling/whirring noise was with the clutch pedal depressed. I drove the car around for maybe 50 miles or so and it seemed the sound was gradually decreasing. I pulled the transmission to fix a missing speedometer gear and a tailhousing leak. After doing so, I saw a ring was worn into the center of the clutch from the pressure plate fingers contacting the clutch when the clutch pedal is pressed. It must be that the clutch center or this pressure plate is a different geometry than OEM and is causing this. At any rate, I don't think it's a major issue because I think eventually the clutch face and/or pressure plate fingers will wear to provide a gap between them. Side note: I did use a new flywheel from Modern Driveline and confirmed the step is 1" so that shouldn't be the cause.

If it was the 3 speed manual you didn't have to be stupid or 16, those things were junk. It's a long story but I went through 7 of them. When the owner of the Mustang specialist shop I was working with on it to got number 7 to work he told the mechanic to send all the rest they had (and the 5 he tried in mine) to the scrap yard. #7 didn't last long either and I switched to a V8 3 speed, but lots of water under the bridge since then and now I'm watching this planning to go with a T5 soon.

@@WasabiMeal not even In the slightest. I’m used to lots of gear with my v8 mustangs, but even my friend and the guy i sold this car too thought it was perfect. It really pepped it up a lot. Only problem is it ran out of steam up top. More carburetor and exhaust, it would have had even more potential. My friend drove like 60 miles round trip on the fwy with it and only used 1/8 tank of gas. That overdrive was great. The 4 cylinder t5s aren’t that easy to find anymore. Lots of people use the v8 t5 with a 3.35 1st and are extremely happy. Fyi if yours is a 66+ read the description, i list the differences and what’s needed for 66+

@@v8only Thanks again. Mine is a 65 with the 8.5" clutch and 3.20 rear end ratio as well. I got a quote from Modern Driveline a couple years ago and they had a tremec t-5z with 2.95, 1.94,1.34,1, .63 od listed in the quote. That first gear is sounding a bit too low from your experience you've shared. I might want to look around for a t-5 with higher ratios. The 2.77 3spd I have in there right now is supposedly 3.29 1st gear so the 2.95 would slug it down more.
