The problem isn't the overall length, The shifter on the stock rad 4 speed is all the way at the end of the tail shaft. The T5 has the shifter fowards of the end of the tail shaft. Yes I did have to shorten the drive shaft 2", but I had to cut the shifter opening up 4" to get it to fit and the shifter hit the radio, even with a hurst short throw shifter. Look at my pictures you can see it. I just did the conversion. The measurments would be the same if you had a V8 car or 4 banger. The posts that say you only need to cut 1/2" are talking about fox bodied cars, not Mustang II's. You might be able to bend the shifter shaft back, but you can't use the stock console any more. I wanted it to look stock on the inside. I didn't have to anything to the tunnel, clears just fine. |
