Shift , Shifting or Shiftless .. Who's got the handle on the #'s ??

[bmwhd1]

Anyone know the real #'s of just how many stick shift car were made ( 67" - 70" ) each year ?

Having never had to do the conversation ( auto to 4 speed ) I’m very hesitant to try it . I’m thinking one would need a donor car ( I’m thinking a “Parts Car” Mustang , since finding same in a Cougar is like wayyyyyy to hard to find ).

Better yet … any one know what a good shop would charge ( labor wise ) , to do the switch ? I’m thinking the repo market has all the given parts …Right ??? NO ??? Any one !!! … HELP !!!

No donor car required.

Here’s a link to the conversion I did. It’s not hard at all, just takes time.

FMX to T5 swap on '70 conv.
