I have a 3.8 L V-6 Now Verse the 351W in Getty Up The 3.8 L uses the same T-Crap I have a Guru at Town&Country Ford that does nothing But SVT for $50 He made me a Jig that will true a stock 5 speeds make yourThrow Much shorter and also Less tendensy to do the 5th Gear twist like so many of us Have. My Real sugjestion Is to Get yourself a SD 5 speed although aftermaket parts dont exsist for this Truck version and the throw is Longer The adavatage is You wont beat yourself half to death trying to Deal with the T-5 Yes the SD does requier new Gearing But I bealive its well worth the effort not to have to put up with a T-5's crap. If you really are in Love and have some Money then a Borg&warner convertion Is nice I have also seen Some 4 speed manual converstions on Drag cars
