T5 trans and Column shift???

Hi everyone

This might be a stupid question but I´ll throw it out there anyway.

I was thinking about hooking up a T5 transmission to the old Y-block but as I am from sweden and I really like the old three on the tree. The stick shift are in almost every car in sweden. Therefor I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any of the T5:s that came with the possibility to hook it up with a linkage to the column????

Or if someone know how one kan build a kit to make it happen??
Or maybe someone have allready done it???

Thankfull for all the feedback.

Interesting idea......the only possibility that comes to mind is the Astro van shifter. Astro's have the shifter re-located about 6 inches to the side. I have never studied this setup, but maybe it could be modified to accept linkage? Now you have me wondering too....

This was discussed in an earlier thread. Bottom-line, No, it's really not practical.

You might search on the HAMB. I thought I just read a thread a few days/weeks ago about someone adapting a column shifter to a T-5.

Or maybe it was a C4...
