I'm going to be putting a T5 in my '66 this winter and am wondering what shifter to use. I've seen the one that looks like the original with the fake rear lockout and it puts the shifter in the stock position, but is this a good shifter?
I've seen the thread about the Steeda unit and the others that are out there. Is this gonna be too much of a reach forward though? I'm pretty tall and had the seat mount lowered and moved back for more head/leg room, and am worried about being able to reach a short shifter comfortably.
I've also seen the new shifter that Mustangs Plus is making, but it is not visually appealing at all (IMHO). Maybe if I were going to race this car it would be worth it. I haven't met anyone locally that's done the swap to see just how much of a reach it is. If there's anybody around whose done it, maybe I could check it out (Aurora, Colorado).
