[QUOTE="Planter, post: 13823969, member: 101620"] I didn't see a non-sho forum, but it's Taurus related so I'll post here. If it's the wrong area, please move to the proper forum. I notice all the Taurus come with an automatic transmission. Is there a possible conversion to a 5 spd or 6 spd manual? (True manual, like shifter and clutch)...not that paddle shift or +/- selector stuff on the auto shifter. I'm interested in buying one of the newer Taurus' next year, but I want to be able to put a manual transmission in. Automatics just are NOT fun to me. I don't know much about the ecoboost motors, or what transmissions would mate up to it, if any. If I end up buying one, I would also like to swap in forged pistons and crank (and rods?), and put a turbo on to up the horsepower. A 500-600 hp Taurus sounds like a lot of fun. If that's possible anyways. But if it's not possible to put in an manual transmission, i will probably buy something else. also, can the AWD platform handle higher horsepower? (+400 range?) I love what the Taurus has to offer as far as styling, interior, sound/climate controls, ride comfort and it'd be a blast to have one that not only looks good but can scoot and boogie and turn a few heads. I'm wondering what other potential this car has? Again, I don't know much about them, and didn't have much lucking finding any answers to my questions when I was browsing this sub-forum, so forgive me if I'm a little ignorant on the Taurus. :beer: [/QUOTE]
