Default T-5WC to TKO Swap

Has this ever been done before? And if so, is it possible to do without to many modifications to the car? Any help or info would be nice.

its been done. ive considered it myself. but i think the mods are something along the lines of cutting the shifter hole a bit bigger, maybe the tranny tunnel. but that would be about it honestly

Ya I kinda figured that would be the case, That means I would also have to remake the center console tho. Thanks for the info. Hmm... The T-56 is a straight swap except for the drive shaft wasn't it?

Sounds just like the T-56 Swap but you get a racing tranny instead of a 6 speed
