When the T5 guys need to downshift they have to push in the clutch and tug the shift lever, while all you have to do is floor the gas pedal to kick down into direct third (or fifth gear if you are counting all six)! Then just let up on the gas and you're automatically back in overdrive (or sixth)!
There is an adapter to relocate the solenoid, but I can't remember what car used it or how hard it is to find one.

I just found a reference on Hemmings to a special solenoid with a longer nose to clear the crossmember on trucks and convertibles. Said it was very rare. This may have been what I was thinking about. Will look further
