Absolutely .. those people need to run a toploader as per original. The TL shifter comes up from the side of the case, not out of the top like a Tremec. And reverse is waaay back to the left ... I had to enlarge that corner of the hole.

Grubby, best to center the hole over the shifter because of the comment by DD that the rubber accordion boot can bunch up and act like a spring and pop you out of 3rd or 4th whenever you lift the throttle. I went around and around with this and ended up with the leather boot. But ... I recall patrickt has a fix for this. You turn the top of the accordion inside and put a ty-wrap on it so it will stay extended.
