The mid-shift location on a TKO transmission is too far forward. Turning the shifter around in the rear-shift location gets it pretty close to the T-10L location, as far as front to back goes. It's about 3/4" or so off as measured from the bellhousing back as I remember. T-10L shifter is 16" back from the bellhousing.

There are other factors involved though, like engine location in relation to the transmission tunnel and the shape of the transmission tunnel as well. All effect shifter location.
