I realize they say that it only fits with an auto trans. but I've found that it is because they are trying to keep the unit installed in its original location due to transmission crossmember interference if the unit was shifted rearward. I have a T5 without a trans crossmember so moving the MC asmy rearward is not an issue and I already have another hole in the floor for filling purposes. I'm sure this can all work if we can just figure out the right parts like proper MC bore size.
