I love manuals. You will need a flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, the cable, pedal, the transmission, the cross member, and the yoke and driveshaft if I am not mistaken.

Hey guys does he need the driveshaft from a manual car. Seems to me the yokes are different lengths on the AOD and the T-5.

Before you give up on the AOD, these are really easy to rebuild, and you can do all the work yourself. It took me just two days to rebuild my C-4 and that was taking time to have everything cleaned and repainted.

I dissassembled everything following the B&M rebuild kit instructions. Very clear and easy to follow. No surprises. I took down all my parts to a tranny shop for inspection, and purchased from them anything not included in the kit.

You can upgrade to a performance power shaft and torque converter and still save money on swaping to a T5 that will also wear out eventually.

I like full manual valvebodies myself, and I like trans brakes. You can purchase just the AOD control valve from LENTCO in Canada. Their kit will make 3rd gear remain unlocked for much better quarter miles.

A well put together AOD will give you almost 1 million shifts before needing to be rebuilt. It will work with up to 750 HP, and it will be much more consistent when you race.

The best thing is that you will break fewer parts.

Now that I have said all that, I am a stick man, so go get a T-5 or Tremec and pound those gears.......

Lotsa luck.
