Steve, I would call Summit or one of the shifter mnf, but I think that
the mechanism is the same. Maybe John Logan or Tom Hall who have also
studies this know definitely.
If you purchased from Dale A, he should know as well.
I put a Pro Five shifter on my T-5, and it's verrry precise, spring
loaded, and made very well. I went with this as the Ford magazines said,
that the stock shifter was prone to missed shifts on power shifts, and
the Pro Five eliminated this.
I don't do that much power shifting, but do like the feel, as it is very
precise. When I looked into this, the Pro Five was top rated by the
mags, but that was 2 years ago.
Good luck
