Installation of the transmisson

Our transmisson is just your basic five-speed T-5 Mustang transmission. Our car was originally automatic. But, no worries yet my friend, our plan of acton is to drive the car in set gears without shifting or the use of a clutch. I know it sounds weird, but it will work. Since our electric conversion has no extreme RPM to horsepower ratio, we will be able to drive the car in any gear starting or stopping and cruising with ease. Kind of like a tractor in a sense of using the throttle to gain speed and de-accelerate, but still allowing you to start off in a high gear.

But my real reason for this blog is to show how we converted the components for an automatic car to a manual transmission automobile.

This is the bracket that connects the the transmission

to the crossmember.

This is our modified manual transmission crossmember.

Inserting the transmission to see if our modification
is going to allow our shifting components to line up.

This is a top view showing that our shifter is going to line up properly.

Success!!!

Awaiting our coupling device to place in bell housing to connect our motor!
