Ive seen this done once on a 97 LX 4.6
apparently it took A LOT of work!!!! I cant help you too much with any details but it it can be done (and that car sure looked good!) here is a post made by the owner - he was trying to sell it awhile ago. unfortunately the link to the buy and sell site doesnt work anymore http://supercoupeclubofwesterncanada.yuku.com/topic/1287 Brad Fedoruk - 1994 Thunderbird SC 5-Speed President of the SuperCoupe Club of Western Canada

Consider that you would need to remove the interior, including the unscrewing the dash to get at the pedal assembly. The center console, just so you can cut
through the car for shifter. . . . . wait what the hell am i talking about. . .
here is the link that you can check out for yourself. Enjoy, and GOOD LUCK. Don't forget to take LOTS OF PICTURES, so we can see your progress, and so you can keep track in case you make a mistake. Trust me that really helped me when i was rebuilding my auto transmission on my other can and as i showed it to the message board, boy did i get help and critiques. http://tccoa.com/articles/tranny/index.html# -M

Honestly, it's not that bad to do.. The only pain in the you know what is the shifter, IE relocating it, but beyond that it's NEARLY bolt in.. and
forums TCCoA.com under the transmission section has ALLOT of good info there.. Also you'll need to buy a Chip to shut off all the Automatic functions but
least you can also have it programed to give you a little more umph over what just the 5spd swap would give you
I've done it on my 5.0L car, and Damn it, i haven't regretted it YET.. Even with the Odd clutch issues it now has, it was the best thing that could be done to one of these cars

Thanks some great info there.I hope my customer will want to do this swap,my guess is the
conversion to hydrolic clutch would be the problem;looks like others have done the R&D. Will save some pics if this job goes thrue//// Thanks again.
