Lightning 6 Speed Project Thread

[Scotts Elle]

Just arrived today. We were supposed to keep it a secret until it was done but this is way to cool not to post. After months of research, its a reality. Thanks to Cichlids for letting me do this to his beast! Not to worry.... lots of pics and info to follow.

Is it a T-56,i'm wanting to put a T-56 in my 97 Cobra.Where did you get your 6-Speed from?

 

[Scotts Elle]

I got it from a wholesaler after setting an account with my side business. Steve (fordsvtparts) has access to Tremec's wharehouse. He has a great price! This is the last one in the country. They are on back-order right now.

Yeah... we won't be posting pics of the shop.... yikes.

Its a 2000 Cobra R tranny made for the 5.4. I have a really cool way to deal with the clutch set-up. Just waiting on a ton of parts.

Pedal assembly, clutch slave cylinder, fork, etc....

Alright so as long as we are sharing and all.............What's stg 3??????

I think a L would be cool with a 6 speed for about a week and then I would be missing my auto. I like the 6 speed in my Shelby but cant wait to get back in the L with auto. A 6 speed is fun for a while that's about it for me. But it should be a cool truck. Cant wait. Hard to hook up though.

Nice!!!
This should be interesting.
Is there any advantage to using a hydraulic setup vs. a cable/quadrant?
