I finally got my car running! Drove it around a little bit and the car runs and shifts great. Programming the PCM was the one thing I was worried about since there's no information about it, but it isn't a big deal. You need the transmission solenoid strategy and the solenoid body ID which can be found on the drivers side of the 6R80 and you can use your VIN code. Not sure why bob450's ABS isn't working, but mine is doing just fine. When I ordered all my parts I found an auto car that had the same build date as mine on the net and I ordered my harness and PCM using the VIN code from that car. Maybe that's why I don't have any issues. Anybody thinking of doing this swap and needs info on it feel free to ask. It's a pretty straight forward swap.

congratulations i think racerat me and you are the 3 first mustang owner in the world to do this kind of switch.....:rockon:

:beer: you follow the same pattern as i did ???:banana::banana::banana:

when i order the eec i order the same as the car i took trans so the build date are not the same as mine i think that is why i have a non compatibility between abs module and eec...

i am also asking to bama if they are willing to continue my free tune for life....:thumbsup:

No the trans I got from duece212 is from a 2012 I think and my car is a 2011, 4/10 build date actually. I know there are at least 2 different battery cables that you can buy where Ford changed the harness. Maybe you got the wrong one. My PCM was ordered for an auto car that also had a 4/10 build date I didn't go off the trans build date. Or since your trans was missing the solenoid data and the tech used truck data may be your problem.

No it can't, you gotta go back to Ford.

So I loaded up a tune that I wrote real quick so I could drive it home today and the car is just nasty. I was scared I wouldn't like going to an auto but it's more fun then the manual.

i am curious are you a sct dealer? how can you build your own tune?:shrug:

to beef cake
thank for adding reply to this post it seems it is few same person interest in this move but after changing 2 time at the dealer my mt82 in less than 11 000 km with a n/a engine this move was mandantory!
if you can take a look at your raptor trans controller and take picture it will be very interesting... my strategy come from a f150 i dont know if it is the same external controller?

ps:i know beef you are well connect with a reputable tuner very busy maybe in a futur conversation you can ask him some little tip.... and commentary on this move ...lol:beer::pop:

Your welcome bob450, I hope I've been helpful. You can use the chrome auto bezel, but you have to cut the chrome manual bezel off. You can do it by melting the small tabs holding it on.

I'm also in the process of doing this. I have all my parts, just gotta get the time to do it. Here's what I've paid for all my parts.

$2200 shipped ($1800 for parts and $400 for shipping) for the 6r80, crossmember, flexplate, coverter, spacer plate, inspection plate, shifter, shifter cable, chrome shifter bezel, trans cooler, cooler lines, and some hardware. I got these parts from duece212 (a very good seller, wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again).

The rest of the parts I got from my local Ford dealer at a discounted rate. These prices include NC tax that I paid. The prices aren't as good as Tousley, but they are close after paying for shipping.

$645 for the auto PCM part# BR3Z-12A650-AFH, this includes the $100 core charge.

$216 for the battery cable part# BR3Z-14300-BB. This part# is for the cars built before 4/10. I know it sounds strange to buy a battery cable, but the trans harness is built into it.

$56 for the brake pedal (premium model) part# DR3Z-2455-E and the "must replace" bushing part# 3M5Z-2L523-AA

$65 for the leather shifter. Duece212's was a base model car so I wanted to upgrade to the leather handle.

Still gotta get around $100 in trans fluid and get the new PCM programmed which should be free since I have a friend of a friend.

Are there any other parts/numbers I need to look into. Would you happen to be able to look to see if the auto PCM is the same part number for the 11/12 and 13/14 or if it's different?

hi everybody!
as promise i am converting my 11 gt manual car to an automatic so take a look and give me your advice :banana:
thank !!

first you need:
transmission 6R80
the transmission wire (it goes from ecm to alternator batterie, power steering)
auto ecm
torque converter (hold by 4 bolt M10*1)
flexplate (bolts to crank shaft are shorter on auto)
the shield plate between trans and motor (opening for torquefor now bolt)
console is the same
auto shifter
top console, chrome bezel mabe fit (but not sure )
the wire is already inside console for plugging shifter electric
brake pedal i think it is optional...
the vacuum on intake have 1 more in on the inlet i think it is not an issue..
plug the master cylinder outlet for clutch
drive shaft is the same
trans cooler+lines

i have alot of pictures give me some time to put in order and if someone know how to make them live on this site feel free to mail me
thank
this is the steps i follow
disconnect batt
remove drive shaft
remove driver cath (passenger frame bolt is hard to get so you can leave on place) +h pipe
disconnect clutch line +wire on trans +cats
remove top console + shifter
remove intake cover (not boss) trans support 4 bolts on frame let engine go down remove 7 engine bolt to trans
pull out trans
remove pressure plate, ring gear
if you have a puller remove pillow bearing cranck shaft if not just grind it off
remove trans wire (alt, power steering, grounds ,+ batt, connector to front harness, ac...)
installation
install trans wire
put grease on torque center pin(where it sit on crank) and on 2 center pin(eng)
install shield plate(auto)
install trans reverse as you did before
plug everything wire on trans cats...
install cooling lines you need a special tool for quick connect
remove lower valence, grill, move a bit ac cooler install trans cooler in front eng rad secure all parts
remove computer replug all connector
bolt auto shifter and wire (wire are already in manual car plug in)
change brake pedal (optional)
change vacuum intake (optional???)
plug batteries

i was not present when ford tech did this steps....
download your car vin inside new eec and strategy 2 code from trans (all this with ids from dealer)
program keys
fire up !
do a crank relearn

according to specialist if you take the eec from a used car you need to disable the pats to be validate...

special thanks to

racerat
and other person giving me info via this site

You don't happen to have my detailed info on the wiring aspect of this do you?

Programming the PCM was the one thing I was worried about since there's no information about it, but it isn't a big deal.

Maybe that's why I don't have any issues. Anybody thinking of doing this swap and needs info on it feel free to ask. It's a pretty straight forward swap.

I'm going to shoot you a PM with my number, I'm going to do this but with a '13 so I can use my track apps (trans temp sensor) and select shift.

I'm going to assume your gonna need a new PCM. There's a PCM for build dates before and after 11/04/2012. I'm going to guess this is for the select shift, but can't say for sure.

If anybody has an NPY2 strategy manual PCM that is doing a swap and wants to make some money get at me, I might buy it off you. I also might have an RDB2 automatic PCM to trade.

Can you explain the differences in PCM's? From what I'm finding (brief research) there isn't a difference physically just the strategies for them...

No clue. My question is though if they were the exact same physically why wouldn't ford sell just one part# then have IDS flash whatever strategy was required? They have different part#'s (and different prices odd enough) for different strategies in the ford parts catalog.

Its all voodoo to me, I just know I could use a NPY2 manual PCM if anybody has one

From what i undertand, you have to get a mustang gt trans the same year as your car and close to your build date, for the easiest swap!

Are people only getting them out of GT's or also f150s?

Mine came out of a 2012 GT, but it would be interesting to see a F-150 trans go in. I really don't see why it wouldn't work cause bob450 used the trans solenoid codes from a F-150 to make his work.
