Welcome back Mike.

It's been a little spell since you last posted.
Have you searched through Stovebolt using the
Search the Site link? Lots of T5 related threads talk about what folks have used for shifters and driveshafts? Be on the lookout for threads written or replied to by Bolter
Lugnutz as he is considered a pretty much resident expert on the T5's.
You can also read this older Legacy Tech Tip
T5 Tranny for a starting point. Others should be along to chime in here soon.
