Only 3 of them are a pull a part but they all offer some kind of 7 day warranty on it if it doesnt work. My second closest place has any tranny for 100.00

100 dollars for a tranny still isn't bad.

When I had my mustang I had to drive all the way to West Virginia to get a 5 speed to do a swap in it.Paid 350 for it brought it home and it turns out it wasn't even the right transmission.After months of searching for one that wasnt $500+ I found one right up the road from me for $150.You would think a 5 speed for a mustang would be easy to find but not around here.

Alright thanks for the info guys, once you have a manual it's hard to go back to auto.

Here's my two cents worth. Having done the swap several times on different vehicles I think you will find it wise to find a wreak for parts buy the whole truck & and when your done junk the rest. It's easy to think of tranny, clutch, bell housing, & peddles, but what happens the little parts will nickel & dime you to death. Will you need the ECM from the standard, you will be surprised at all the pieces of linkage, springs even having to change the brake pedal. what about the rear mount, is the crossmember the same,more parts than I can think of. Hope I at least gave you something to think about but from my experience over the years I won't consider such a swap without the whole truck before I start.
