Looking to swap out an C6 auto to double overdrive Tremec 6 speed.
The car is an XW Ute with a 393 and 4.11 diff gears. Is this a reasonable option for a more cruisable car with the ability to still have good acceleration. I would prefer to have these features and a manual gearbox then to simply swap diff gears. Is it to complicated, or is it just a matter of pedal box, gearbox, clutch, and bellhousing? Cheers |

Hi,
I know nothing about C6, except that it is a 3-speed auto used for 30 years, between 1966 to 1996. It does have 4 different bell housing alternatives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_C6_transmission If you are serious about going manual, I would suggest looking up Mal Wood Automotive, as they seem to be the place to go for Tremec parts, kits and conversions. They probably have a very good idea what will fit, and typical costs. https://malwoodauto.com.au/ford/ |

You might have to modify (widen) the transmission tunnel.
