Long story short, I have a brand new T56 Magnum that I need converted to a 4th gen F body tail housing and output shaft. I am building an LS powered 99 Miata and the 4th gen application places the shifter right in the stock hole.
I would be willing to ship or deliver the trans in order to convert it.
PM if you have a viable option.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Bowler.
Did you look at the Magnum XL?

I think I have a solution.
Thanks for your input.
I sell T56 Magnums and you can modify the shifter by cutting off the top portion where the stick bolts up, drilling a hole thru the shifter and welding a steel rod into it getting your desired setback. In the FD RX-7 it's about 4" setback. The stock shifter is surprisingly good after this mod.
No need for the $500 Sikky unit or other overpriced shifters. The mod takes about 1.5hrs taking your time.
