T-5 in my 66
I just got my '66 coupe back with a brand new T-5 tranny and I don't
have words to express how much better it is. It had a 3 speed manual that I hated from the first day I drove it. It is like a totally different car now. If you are even slightly pondering a switch, DO IT!!! Sorry for my enthusiasm but I'm a bit giddy right now. Mike |

I rebuilt the original linkage. It's amazing how much better it works
when you replace all of the missing bushings. I've heard the cable replacement doesn't last very long. |

In my experience with the late model cars, stock Ford cables last quite a
long time, but the aftermarket replacements either snap or wear through the lining in a very short period. Unless the cable conversion kit used a stock Ford part or a FRPP/Ford Motorsport part, I'd be leary of using it. JS > wrote in message oups.com... >I rebuilt the original linkage.

So, how much did that conversion cost?
