I just lost over an hour's worth of T5 stuff for you....but that's MY PROBLEM! Anyway, you can use the TAIL SHAFT housing off of a Chevy S-10, along with it's corresponding short SHIFT RAIL & Cover. It'll bolt right on to ANY T5 that has a decent, close-ratio gear set like a V8 Camaro with the 2.95 1st gear, or a V8 Mustang with the 3.35 1st gear. You DO NOT want to use the entire S-10 transmission, 'cuz it has crap 3.50 or 4.03 1st gear ratios. Comparison picture below.....moves the shifter nearly 9" forward. I can help you sift your way through this to do it RIGHT! DD
