Gazim,
Here is a link to
Ebay S10 Hurst shifter . The shifter lever might work for you. Since you have a T5, you can use the regular S-10 shifter core and mod it and attach a longer lever. In the Tech Tips,
Short Shifter for a T-5 Tranny , Mr Sandoval showed how to shorten the throw with the S10 shifter and bent the lever to be more strait upward. I like Joe's 37
pickup. Not just does he have a nice ride but he has the fifth gear.
The shifter lever Mr Shorty showed me how to make, was quite easy. If you have the shop or the use of a shop, it took no longer then an hour to cut, weld, drill, and clean up.
Just some additional ideas to help.
