I have an original 4 speed shifter to weld to the T5 shifter. Does anyone have any pictures or pointers of how to weld the T5 shifter to the original shifter? Where to cut, angle of the cuts, measurements or where to weld them together?
Thanks

I used an angle grinder to notch out a 2 inch section out of each and welded them together. Make sure you get plenty of penetration.
