Hello to all. I'm new to this forum and have to hand it to you guys, the info u post here is amazingly informative. I'll start by saying I have an 88 tbird sport with a 306 mated to an AOD (floor shift) and an 8.8 rear. My question to u guys concerns an AOD to T5 swap I'm currently going to be doing. Note, I do have a donor, 93 stick mustang. First question, is the reverse light harness for the T5. Will the reverse light harness in the stang match up with the one in my tbird? If not, any recommendations? Note, my T5 has the two threaded connectors on it. Second, does a tbird lower shift boot bolt directly in, or is there fabrication involved. The reason I ask is that in doing my research, I have spoken to several reputable guys who have done this conversion in stangs. They told me that manual stangs have a slightly different trans tunnel than auto stangs. They recommend to cut that portion of the tunnel out of a stick stang and transplant it so everything has a factory look. In researching this forum's tech threads, I have not read anyone having a problem with this. I just need to know if tbirds are different in this aspect. i want to do the job right and need some clarification. It's my hope that the lower boot bolts down and seals nicely without any fab work. Lastly, I'm going to be using a firewall adjuster for the clutch cable. I just want to confirm if I need to swap out a smaller booster/master so that it fits. I remember reading a thread about this but can't locate it right now (i'm not sure if it was here or coolcats). If it does need to be swapped, what is the proper one to buy? Sorry in advance for the lengthy write up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
