Well I got a clean AOD core with only 34k on it. It has a nice Transgo progressive shift kit in it. I burned out the forward drive clutch while installing a B&M shift arm. So only very little will need to be replaced. I also have a brand new stock converted to go with it.
I also have a complete C-4 core W/ converter
If interested make good offer. Thanks

Wouldn't you have to lay transmission lines or some stuff like that?

This is what u need:
1. New Radiator
(auto tranny cooler with lines gos to radiator)
2. Different pedal set up
3. Of course the Tranny
4. Longer driveshaft
5. New Computer i think ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
I think thats it but it is a lot of work to get it done and it will be pricey.....My 2 cents is to get a TKO or check ebay for 5-spd trannys

1. B&M tranny cooler. Dont have to plumb into rad.
2. Unbolt clutch pedal and save it for later
3. New Tranny
4. Same Driveshaft
5. Same computer
Ive done tons of T-5 to AOD/C-4 and C-4/AOD to T-5 conversions.
They are not that hard at all.
What you do need is a new shifter and cable.

Uhhhhhh, the c-4 and aod aren't the same length which is the main reason you need a new driveshaft when putting an aod in an old mustang with a c4... okay it's the ONLY reason, but i know nothing about the t-5.

Nah driveshaft fits when putting a C-4 in a late model I have done it had one in my old car.
Has nothing to do with Ted heads car though.
The FMS aluminum driveshaft is for T-5 AOD and C-4 cars from 79-93

why do you need a new drive shaft when going from a c4 to aod in an early model but you dont need one when going from an aod to a c4 in a late model?

Trust me I have gone to a C-4 from an AOD and T-5 in a late model and the driveshaft works fine. The driveshaft is just a little longer.
I couldnt tell you about going to an AOD to a T-5 in an early car.
The yoke is the same so I cant imagine you need to change that driveshaft.
Couldnt really tell you, but I can tell Ted that he doesnt need a new driveshaft.
