    this is a question, because I dont know what happen, When my mav had the original tranny (3 speeds) I feel more power when it started, now im not feel the force, started fine, but no with that force, the tires not slide, I do not know :cry: but my mav not is the same, ¿alguien tiene cualquier idea sobre qué podría ser??
    just swap a T5 tranny, is normal this behavior???

    ThanX U.

    That does not sound right, the T5 should have pretty short 1st and 2nd gears, I'd think it would be at least the same if not better. Is the clutch slipping? (that pretty much covers all I know about standard trannys.. :p)

    Si usted utilizó el embrague que vino con una transmisión usada, ése podría ser el problema. Conjeturaría que o su disco del embrague está usado gravemente, o su rueda volante podría ser la apta incorrecto o puede necesitar ser vuelto a allanar. No soy seguro si el T5 es ajustable o no. Podría tener un ajuste que está permitiendo deslizarse de la transmisión.

    Buena Suerte.

    Thank U for your aswers, and yep, the clutch was the guilty!, but, now, result another problem, you see, Im dont have any kind of knowledge about automotive mechanical, so, I paid for the tranny job, but, in my ignorance, the person who do the job, swap the tranny by one of mustang 99, and I think is for 4.6L motor not for 5 lts. could be there any problem with that???? and so, the speedo is electric not mechanic, there solution for this problem?? :'(

    What kind of spanish is that?

    I had a hard time following that. Sounds very Castillean or you used a translator program. Anyways, good job on the explanados.

    Looks pretty easy to read to me. He wants to know if there is any problem with using a tranny that came behind a 4.6 with a 5.0, and how to connect his mechanical speedo to the transmission which has a eletrical output.

    Here is what you need for the speedometer problem

    I know there is a difference on the 4.6 vs 5.0 T5, I believe it has to to do with the length of the input shaft.
