Re: T5 trany in 55 wagon
So the B&M shifter is in, unfortunately it has the 5/8 bolt spacing for the stick. No shift sticks to be found, so I made an adapter and was able to use a Hurst stick I had laying around. The 2" S bracket that came with it was a must to clear the seat. Ended up being a little busier than I wanted, but I was able to put the shift knob right where I wanted and is very comfortable to drive. Now I need to make a boot out of leather or vinyl to cover it all up. Big difference the way the B&M shifter works and was definitely worth the extra $$$. So overall, I'm very happy the way it all turned out! After a 100 miles or so, The car is a real joy to drive and the OD is perfect for cruising down the road. A big thanks to all that offered advice!
