Patrick's situation had been discussed pretty fully a couple of months ago and it sounded final: https://tinyurl.com/y79b78l2
Maybe not and maybe something better happened since those notices were posted on their door. We can hope so.

Jerry, the shifter Patrick sold was a Hurst Competition Plus which as I recall had been modified but not modified much. The shift lever bolted on to the shifter with two bolts (very common style) and mimicked the old 4 speed modified Z lever that would have come stock.

A useful modification to the T5 transmission might be to adapt the electronic speedo output to a manual output with different gear ratio capabilities. I'm not talking about one of the "electronic to mechanical" converters. That topic has already been whipped to death on this forum and several others. From what I've read, none of those adapters work well enough to spend $100 on much less the $300 or more they want. And I know some will rush up to say "a GPS speedo is the way to go" but I've not seen a single GPS speedo out there with an analog odometer and different people have told me they prefer their speedometer to look more like the original. Alternatively converting a GPS speedometer to one which used an analog odometer would be useful.
