Thanks gents gotter done installed 83-95 mustang  t-5 manual trans 19 tooth will know in a few months how accurate thanks for the input...Next issue anyone know what I will need for throttle linkage setup? Can I use my original 57 tbird auto bell crank setup for the t-5 manual swap for this?

'Bird throttle linkage operation is unaffected by disconnecting and removing the bell-crank to FordOMatic kick down rod.  There is no need to change the FordOMatic throttle linkage to the configuration used on 3 speed (C code) or 3 speed w/ overdrive (D code) 'Birds except for appearance purposes.  Your automatic transmission bell crank is the 'tell' for Ford passenger car and 'Bird followers that you have swapped transmission types.

I think swapping to the T-5 is going to enhance your driving experience.  Enjoy the ride.
