But you CAN make it work for a four speed, since the reverse lever is separate. Can't separate the two shift mechanisms -- they are too close together and use a common shaft, IIRC. Use the three speed shifter for forward gears, put it in neutral and pull OD lever for reverse. I knew a guy who did that to use a column shifter on a four speed trans -- had a cable under the dash for reverse.

Nah, the shifter is a bummer as it won't adapt, though you can probably fake it out to do something.
No way to make a seperate lever work the reverse on the T5.
 I'd tig it for something as simple as a kill switch or some such thing if you could get the T5 tail to line up in the proper place to work in the other hole.
   Yeah, I'm home...whoopie...
