I bought a brand new B&M shifter (still in the box) for my '84 T5 on eBay for
$90. I also have seen some stock shifters on there (mainly for Mustang T5s -
don't know if they would work) for a few bucks. I had also purchased the T5 on
eBay for $127.50. The transmission was from an '84 V8 Camaro and even has a .63
5th gear (I was very happy to discover after I got it).
