I put a tremec out of the tvr in my escort ,you can change rear tail housing for the t5 one,so gear-lever in same position,I did change to quaife internals as it didn’t like changing fast at high revs as obviously behind a v8 they only see say 7k redline but make lots of torque,think the internals from quaife were around £1700 ,took a lot of abuse and could change gear fast at 8500 rpm plus
