If you look at the stats less Manual trannys are built than Auto's ... Somebody had mentioned that dealers have to by 7 Automatic Mustangs to get 1 Manual Mustang. Most dealers use V6 Autos so they can get Manual GT's ... that's why manual V6's are kind of a rarity. My dealer had no V6 manuals but was able to locate one for me when I bought mine ...

TREMEC can produce a given number T3650s per month and the 5R55S Auto is Made in France by an affiliated Ford Company and they achieve a higher production.

At my local ford shop, the Manual GTs are hard to find. Many to choose from if it is an SVT or Roush Vehicle as these are majority manual.
