Since I got my GM I've never liked the trannys shift points, how it shifts, etc. Now it seems to be sorta on its way out. it shifts into OD (@38-40mph) quickly followed by TQ Conv lock-up at too low of speeds (like 50mph). And it takes a while to shift from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 under moderate/high acceleration. Not to mention it sucks for towing anything on the highway.
I know the 4r70's are a little pricey to have rebuilt, plus it'd be more considering I'd want the trans a little bit beefed up, or with different shift points etc... And I've wanted a manual car/truck for a while but they are pretty hard to find and I like my whale. I was talking to a friend who's also a fellow MGM owner...and he told me there was a place that sells a 5 spd mustang trans (tr3650 or whatever) with everything you need (minus the clutch pedal and master/slave cyls.) for $5-800.
I'm wondering how much a clutch pedal and master/slave cyls would be? and the flywheel? Can i just get any 4.6L Mustang flywheel? What computer/ecu stuff needs to be done?
And are there anyother transmissions that would work? Like a T-5? Any trans I could find cheaper?
And how much do you think it'd be to have it installed? I am mechanically capable of installing the trans, but i dont have some of the required tools or the equipment (like a lift, or a tranny jack, etc).
