I take it you haven’t had a mt82 car they’re dog shit cold warm hot doesn’t matter clunky as hell and hit or miss when trying to get a built one

I've got one and it has been problem free, it's no tremec, but it's light years beyond how the MT82 was in my S197.

Three pages of bull shit opinions and not one person answered the OP’s original question.

OP: I have searched this topic before as well and haven’t found where anyone has done it. There’s always a first so if it’s important to you tackle it and let us know how it goes.

as far as making the MT82 better, your very first mod should be a vengeance stage one clutch, it fixed EVERY issue that my mt82 had; I shift my car at 8k no problem now. Second would be the shifter and maybe the steeda bushing.

hey now, I posted long ago that nobody's done it, and furthermore to go read the long thread on the last guy who tried just a "simple" T56 swap.

And there at least one references to consulting with a named professional shop who IS in the business of doing such things.

There might be a lot of banter, but there were at least 3 significant, on-point, and helpful posts. You added the bit about replacing the clutch. Interesting, wouldn't have been my first move but useful to know.

K. For starters: Autotrans BCM. Autotrans PCM. Autotrans ABS. Engine harness, Autotrans harness, upper/lower O2's, complete autotrans drivetrain / components from the flywheel back, PATS bypass, & a FORD tech willing to reprogram everything.

All I'm trying to do is save him some money and lotsa HEADACHES with that swap!!

OP read up on this thread for the T56 questions. This guy is working on a work around for the T56 swap stuff.

Someone send me a parts list for a T56 swap y’all convinced me to keep the manual just tired of mt82 shenanigans

Install this instead, and quit playing around.

Before you throw an entire catalog of parts at it I would make sure there's not an underlying issue with yours that's causing your concerns. I never experienced anything like what your going through. I honestly thought the MT82 in my 21 was pretty damn good. Geared terribly for sure, but zero drivability issues.

The 10spd on the other hand is "interesting" to say the least...

You say that they are less desirable, yet, Ford charges more for the auto and sell the crap out of them. I personally love manuals, but, was not about to buy an MT82.

Exactly right, the take for manuals is less than 30%
Numbers say the auto is more desirable.
I have a manual Mach1 but loved my 18 A10 car.

I'm afraid you're conflating desirability with lifelong 'conditioning' or just plain lack of knowhow. If you've never been in a manual or worse don't know how, you're very unlikely to select it.

Exactly right, the take for manuals is less than 30%

Pretty sure I saw production reports that said take rate was a lot closer to 50% on GT. On EB it was significantly divergent, yes.

Just sharing what I found when I looked

I don't belive it has anything to do with conditioning. It's a choice. I chose a manual for my Mach 1 , but my 18 and 15 were both autos. I enjoyed those cars as much as I do my current car.
I made a choice like most people do. Lol
