At one time back in the dark ages, I believe Patrick's sold a shifter setup for the Saginaw 4 speed that moved the shift handle forward and centered it over the trans case. I believe that with a little creative tinkering something similar could be fabricated for the T-5, especially since the shifter handle is already on center.
