I am using a TKO-600 and got a little creative with the provided shifter instead of removing it and replacing it with a mid-shifter. The mid-shifters are expensive and move the stick forward about 6-7 inches. The stock TKO-600 shifter can be reversed (see picture below) which moves the shifter forward about 2 3/4". I then bought a shift stick from Forte's for a 1999-2004 Mustang GT which is a 5" tall 2 1/2" dogleg shifter. On a Mustang the dogleg moves the shift ball toward the driver - I reversed it to move it away from the driver. After a mock-up I wanted to move the shifter forward about one more inch. I had a friend of mine machine a billet aluminum bracket to move the stick forward that one last inch to make it perfect. It turns out that the Coyote is also about 1" further forward in the chassis than 302 or 351 based engines so you put all them together and you get a mid-shifter without buying and installing a mid-shifter.

If you are going to use a T5Z, you may not have the ability to do this and may have to go to a mid-shifter for a T5Z to move the shift point toward the front of the car.
