T5 short throw from Ford?

Has this been done, converting the Ford t5 shifter for the S10?

Looking to put a short throw shifter in mine. Why are the Ford shifters so cheap and the ones for Chevy are $300?

It is possible to fit a Mustang t5 shifter on the s10 t5. You would need to drill 2 new holes in the top plate. The cheap shifters are pretty junky. If you can find a factory s10 short throw shifter you would be better off IMO.

Buy one from Summit and try it. You can always clean it up and send it back!
