Hey Guys,
Im decided on weather changing my AOD to a T-5 or not. Whats the advantage to switching to a T-5?????? is it better r should I stick with AOD?
My AOD in the T-bird stood tough for 3yrs of abuse...AOD is more convenient and consistent at the track...T-5 is more fun...unless you drive in stop and go traffic frequently.
do the t-5 the car will feel totally different, I was very happy with the t-5 swap..
now if stop and go traffic is always in your daily driving scene than you might want to consider
its easier to receive roadhead with an auto. :hick:
Unless it is floor shift Auto... :( still doable though, ;)
Column shift FTW
i had a buddy years ago that had an auto mustang gt and swapped to a t5... he LOVED it.
I very happy with the t-5 swap. Will never go back to auto but I'm a gearjammer anyway.
Kickin' and stickin' is a hell of a lot more fun...but I was a "track rat" with my old T-bird, the AOD was nice for that factor...consistency...my cougar is a 5 speed and I don't plan on changing that.
Larry is right....5speed....or better yet 6speeds are very fun. I have never regretted the swap.
