Q: the engine is a 3.0 L DOHC Duratec 30 V6 the current transmission is a Ford AXOD both the engine and the transmission are original

A: Yes you can , But we built lots of those and none were manual drives only the SHO was standard shift , If you could find a SHO that was manual get everything to swap it over and change it out It's not that hard, hope this helps.
