Yes, any T5 Shifter will fit. The only thing that some have had is a slight left bias toward the US driver.

I have this one http://mgwltd.com/mustang_shifter.shtml

Apart from being shorter and having less throw between gears, they have stronger springs that help to centre the stick on the shift from 2nd to 3rd.

There is a write up in my Wagon Build thread.

Buy the ones from America there cheap ($95) with the strong aussie $$$

A few of the guys have them fitting and in use with good feedback

59.99USD for shifter
25.99usd for post to AUS
Thats around $95 AUD

Hey guys looking at getting a short shifter, Quick question do these ones have the positive stops that you can adjust so you dont over shift, aparently one of the main reasons the syncros stuff up.
