Pinto Car Club of America

Looking to find out if there is any fit issues by removal of stock 4 speed and puting a modern trans out out a mustang  like five speed or ? Car that my dad is looking at is a 72 squire with 2.3 with a dead trans. Looking at it as a father son project .  Any info would b much appreciated Thx Don

The T-5 will fit, but the firewall will need a little hammer work, and the shifter will be placed farther back then the stock 4 speed shifter, my next question is, are you sure the 72 has a 2.3? it should have a 1.6 or 2.0L

Positive  I jave an original 73 with the 2.0. The prior owner of the 72 had replaced the 2.0 in the 72 with the 2.3 about 5 yrs ago.

find a t9, alot easyer swap and good trans if your not guna make over 200 ponys, the original 4 speed is good too if you can find one, i dogged my 4speed and it stayed good, remember to put good fluid in it and keep it fresh

Thankyou both fast64 ranchero,and 82expghost both is definitely good ideas ill talk with dad and see what he wants to do Trans wise ,I know my idea seems like I could do it tomorrow but then reality kicks in.when I look at The budget . But the main thing I have another pinto !
