Ok guys I came across a 5.0 motor from a mustang the motor has a 5 speed trans. I want to know if I should run the 5 speed or find an auto trans.

Are you handicapped?
Are you over 70?
Are you a "fraidy cat" (edited for taste)?
Do you have zero interest in skillful driving on twisty roads?
If you answered yes to one on more of the above, then a slushbox may be for you.
Whatevs, go with the trans YOU like.

5-speed, absolutely. If you're not good at it, you will be in 2 days !!! My daughters, Mrs. Cusser, and I drive manuals too. Yesterday and today Mrs. C is driving the 1971 VW convertible.

I will be going with the 5 speed. I have been driving 5 speed since high school. If anyone has done this swap did you use the factory master cylinder or after market.

5 speed. The T5 fits well in there too. Check out my thread for more pics...

I converted the T5 to a hydro and I am going to try to use the stock MC. I haven't finished hooking it up yet. If it doesn't have enough pressure, I will buy a Wilwood.
