alright, im a little confused here. im just starting to find out that ford never made the manual transmission for the SOHC only the OHV. when i bought the car, the dealer said i couldnt get manual and leather seats, he never mentioned i would have to get the lesser engine as well.
ok, so if the manual is only for the OHV, im looking in the Haynes manual, and it says, "1997 and later V6 models - 5R55E". so that means that the OHV and the SOHC uses the same automatic transmission, which means the connections onto the engines should be identical. so what im sayin is, how hard could it really be to do a manual tranny swap on the SOHC?
ive tried to forget it, but ive always wanted my ex to be manual. i figure i could either find a guy on here with a man that wants an auto, go to a junkyard, or even buy a new tranny, swap it in, and sell the auto, and do everything for fairly cheap.
