That sequential shifter is only $2500 while a fully sequential transmission is $2300 (7-speed paddle shift). Doubt if it would be easy to adapt to a 1200

is it really as simple as bolting a flat pale to the T5 and then bolting the auto-bell housing to said flat plate? Wouldn't the input shaft need to be turned down and or the A-series flywheel need to be machined?
Generally speaking, yes it could be that simple ... but I don't know of anyone who has adapted a T5 to an A-engine
* length of input shaft varies, but you can vary the thickness of the adapter plate. Sometimes the shaft diameter is close enough to use an alternative pilot bushing
* Custom clutch disc usually not required just a disc with the appropriate splines, the A-series flywheel can use up to 200mm disc
* use a hydraulic clutch release bearing for easy fitment
T5 input shaft is usually TOO SHORT i think ... 6-6.5" long up to 7.2" versions (including 1" pilot area), which is shorter than A-series bellhousing? Commodore T5 input shafts are up to 9.5" long
There are over 200 varieties of T5, including different overall lengths, and input shaft lengths. I'm told input shafts are easy to change
Bolt patterns (front of gearbox)
* Ford-type: Ford, Nissan, AMC
* GM-type: Chevrolet pattern
