I did a search on this but didn't find any info about this, we are working on a project car and we got our t56 out of a 02 F-body, our space is very limited I was wondering if we can use the shifters made for t56 in Cobra, so I thought to ask here before order, any help is appreciated !!

You can only use the T56/ Cobra shifter if you convert the extension housing and linkage to accept it.So answer yes( with work & $)

That's what we wanted to know, if we have to do any modification or its bolt on, I guess we are to get pro 5.0 and make it work, thanks again for the info !!!

How much work is it to fit onto the trannys? I really want a MGW shifter for my car and they don't make it for f-bods.. I would really appreciate any help.

The GTO shifter will directly bolt to an Fcar T56. To use it, you need to change the offset lever on the shift rail also. Have you looked at a GTO shifter? It places the shift handle rearward about 3 inches or so. I t will require a hole cut in your tunnel and reaching rearward for the stick. Why a GTO shifter?
The Cobra T56 shifter bolt pattern is different and will not attach to the Fcar casting.To use one requires a casting and linkage swap. In the end the shifter is moved WAY forward . I would suspect that the handle would then be under the dash - after you cut a new hole in the tunnel for it. Not a real option for just a short-throw shifter.

can i use just the cobra stick? not the actual shifter. shift **** options blow for the f body's and the cobra has a much more common thread pattern

You can bolt the Cobra stick to an Fcar shifter.
