T-5 swap parts list

Well I figured the 5.0L Mustang had an auto trans in it, but you could swap a manual in and the plug ins were there. Should it not be the same for our cars? I will just need to get a wire diagram and see what I have to do to run it properly.

Aerocoupe, Mobil 1 synthetic ATF? I like that idea. I just heard a lot of people say to use the syncromech with the T-5.

there is a transmission harness that plugs into both the transmission. and the pedals. auto has its own separate harness. on our cars, this includes the speed sensor wiring.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Haystack: So I need to find a turbo coupe and get the harness from there? Or do I just find any Fox Mustang with a 5 speed 4 cyl or v8?

86 what are you trying to do with the harness??? I am guessing you want to mate it to the NSS from the auto tranny and also hook up the reverse lights?? Please clear this up as the T5 has the reverse light switch right in the TRANNY. The stock auto wiring can be spliced in to the T5 with the proper plug that fits the t5. 4 wires are involved to have both. 2 wires to have reverse lights and 2 wires spliced together to eliminate the manual tranny NSS. If you need the colors i will post them. The speed sensor is another issue as it has to match the car you are dealing with.

The 86 MERK XR7 shows the R-LB and W-BK as the NSS leads. If this is the car you are working on splice them together to eliminate NSS. If you want NSS run them to the clutch switch on the PEDAL!!

Reverse lights are the BK/PK and P/O wires!!

What I am doing is just making sure everything plugs in and works. I did snag a small harness from the turbo coupe under the car that plugs into the 4 pr0ng cylinder from the trans. It has two wires looped together. I'm guessing for the reverse lights? The vss wires are already there.  Then I want to plug the neutral safety switch in and complete the system. The NSS on the pedals I have look like it needs two connectors to plug into it. I can take a pic if I need too.
