Mark, It's quite easy to modify these shifters to fit comfortably on a T5. On mine , I simply cut the mounting bracket off the bottom of the shifter with a mini grinder and ground a flat area into the new end. Be careful to maintain the correct angle as the bend in the shifter is offset and not parallel to the centerline of the transmission. Next step was to measure and drill two new mounting holes and bolt it on. The fake reverse lock out is easy to remove - all you'll need is a set of allen keys. You can disassemble the spring loaded mechanism and remove the little "T" handle. I eventually chose to leave mine in as it looks OK and doesn't interfere with fast shifting.
