Default Re: T5 trany in 55 wagon

Hey LD .....I just came across this for the first time, and it sure ain't CHEAP! But if the situation comes-up that you could use a few more inches of seat clearance, this rig might just be the way to go. Those S-10 tail housing extensions are getting expensive and more difficult to find now-a-days (check eBay), and if in doing so you have to do a bunch of modifying to "FIX" your speedometer drive location and type, plus the R&R involved with pulling the trans out of the car, PLUS ya still gotta buy some sort of decent shifter anyway.....this thing starts looking better and better. And if you look carefully at how it is designed, you can install it so as to really zero-in on the exact location that you want the shifter to be.....fore/aft, AND left/right! Pretty slick, and just thinkin' out loud! DD
