Getting close to getting the T5 in the 89.

Never had a stick shift Fox.

What seals the hole in the floor around the shifter?

Thanks! Could not find that last night.

And I have one, it was in my Chevelle pile of stuff.

Are you doing a swap from an auto to manual? If so, there is an additional metal piece that is spot welded to the tunnel to fit that shifter boot to. I salvaged one from a wrecked car for mine, but LMR sells them also.

Yep, doing an auto to manual swap, I saw the tunnel piece last night, did not find the seal.

Looks like I will just country boy it for now. I put tarpaper over the tunnel cut in the Chevelle for three years after putting in a tko 600.
