Could someone plz tell me the differences between an automatic and a manual 5.0 mustang??

Question

...

Answer 1

one has a clutch pedal and one doesnt ????

Thats about it, well that and a couple of hundred dollars everytime you blow the clutch out

Answer 2

I've had an automatic, and I regret it. A car like this can only be fully enjoyed if it has a manual tranny.

The problem with an overpowered muscle car these days is that you rarely get to open it up and drive it like it's built to be driven. With a stick, you get alot more enjoyment out of a sports car. Down-shifting to pass people, hearing the roar of an engine, smoking the tires on a burn-out, all very good fun for a 5.0. As for the clutch burning out....don't worry about. I've never lost a clutch in a manual transmission. Just shift properly and you manual tranny with give you less problems and expense than an automatic.

Answer 3

The automatic 5.0 Mustangs are much slower than the manual operated ones. If I had it to do all over again I'd have looked harder to find a stick.

Answer 4

Other than the obvious manual tranny and auto tranny, the auto tranny cars had a different tune in the computer which slowed them down some as well as the AOD tranny of the era wasn't a very good performance tranny. The converter partially locked in 2nd gear and was fully locked in 3rd and OD. The newer 4R70W trannys are much better.

Answer 5

there talkin about the drive train . like manual is a 5 speed stick shift. were automatic is what it says an automatic transmission.

Answer 6

manuals are so much more FUN...
is the gear ratio the same?

Answer 7

one would probably get better gas milage because it is manual.

Answer 8

neither of them are good. ford's suck!
