The Stock T-5 Myth
I’ve had a stock Mustang T-5 in my Tiger for about 12 years and 30,000 miles. By using a short after-market shift lever and turning it 180 degrees, the ball is in almost the same position as a toploader with a better travel radius. Seldom does anyone notice that the lever comes out of the floor rearward of the original.
Since it is the Stock Mustang T-5, it requires no modifications, it is much cheaper, the Tiger drive shaft fits and the speedometer cable fits with no leaks. It does require some body modifications.
