Its not that bad. Easier than going from an auto to a stick if you leave the existing pedal assembly in place and just have a 'dead' clutch pedal on the floor.

I'll just put it this way its a lot harder onverting from Auto to stick than it is converting Stick to auto.
I know this because i was going to convert my auto to a five speed but it wouldve been tooo costly for MY budjet.

My friend is asking for 5k for it, Do you think that is too high?

Tell us more, Miles, driven hard?? Stock??? generally, what makes a used Fox stang a good deal are: less than 120K or so miles, or rebuilt motor if more. Bone stock and never owned by a teenager. A good clean interior & exterior without looking too "worn".
If it passes all of these, then 5K is decent.
If not, it's a rip off, keep looking.
Just my opinion!

Why would you not just buy a 5.0 with an auto or learn to drive a 5sp...sorry if I sound like a dick but it seems ou would be willing to shell out all that extra money just for an auto when the money spent could go to the car for other mods...Like I said, sorry for sounding like a dick, just courious!!
