I know there are a few threads discussing this but I just finished the swap and wanted to post a few things that I learned. I bought my transmission, converter, steering wheel and driveshaft used. The rest of the parts were purchased new. I spent 1700 for trans and converter, 90 for steering wheel and 85 for driveshaft. I spent 1100 on new parts. Please shoot me a PM if you have any additional questions.
1a. Return your car back to stock if using SCT Tuner to Unmarry tuner in case VIN changes.
1b. Must have access to dealer IDS code or someone certified with NASTAF to reset the PATS after flashing the new PCM. PATS can be reset on 2011-13 cars without dealer login but you still need ford software to program PCM.
2. I loaded AS-Built for 2015 Auto but input my manual vin when asked if VIN was correct
3. If converting car with performance pack gauges you must use AS-Built from a 50th anniversary or have your tuner change voltage for oil pressure switch
4. I used forscan to update all modules but the PCM
4a. You can view as built for any VIN here https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt
5. Manual instrument cluster will work but gear indicator at the bottom will not be there. It will show gears when in sport mode using paddle shifters. You can add gears to manual cluster on 2011-13.
6. I am using stock pedals and I plan to remove clutch pedal eventually
7. some part numbers are wrong in the list on the forum. use the zip file attached for parts
8. The cluster and harnesses will vary depending on when your car was built and if it is a performance pack car.
9. I am still getting a code stating my vehicle block ID is not correct. I think this is due to having auto as-built data with manual VIN. I am planning to get this fixed eventually. My car runs great with no check engine light or ABS light. All drive modes and line lock work great.
10. If using a stock auto drive shaft you have to change the yoke on the manual differential. You must use caution when changing this because it could upset the bearing preload. Another option is getting a new driveshaft with manual yoke. Shaftmasters is a great source for the hybrid auto manual driveshaft.
11. I am using stock master cylinder resevoir but I had to plug off the nipple going to the clutch master cylinder.
12. The manual battery harness will work but you will have two extra rear o2 sensor plugs and two manual transmission plugs. I currently have the tied out of the way. i may cut them in the future.
13. The manual says you need to reprogram keys after resetting PATS but I think you can get by without doing this.
14. When installing the trans cooler install the hoses on the cooler, then install it.
15.A 2011-up F150 transmission will work if you make a bracket for the shift cable. We may try this in the future because they can be had for 500 bucks or less. The bracket is made by performance automatic PN#PA68502
16. www.car-part.com is a great resource to find used parts
17. I ordered all my new parts from parts.autonationfordwhitebearlake.com/
18. Some post say you need new bellhousing bolts but I reused my originals
19. I used procedure here to keep oginal VIN http://www.searchautoparts.com/moto...-repair/ford-pcm-programming-other-procedures
