The good old Mustang/Cossie Tremec T5.
I do have a linkage kit from a TVR Griffin that put's the gearlever some 4/5" inches further forward.
If you could take photo's of your floor it would be very very helpfull.

Daz,

Any chance of getting under your car soon,
Could do with having a look to see how you done your's before I attempt to do mine sort of thing.

Scott.
I got it as low as I could,
Mind you I need some serious mod's to get the sump capacity back.
I haven't even thought about the clutch as yet Helix MotorSport have been mention elsewhere and I shall be taking your old and my clutch up to see what they can do.

Alun.
Long as it sound's like one.

Well with two week's off work to get some sort of hold on the ProjectAJP I now need a week off to recover.
It's been bloody hard work but worth it.
