Default Newbie T5 (In a Volvo) Questions

Hello everyone-I just popped over here with a quick question.

I'm using a T5 transmission from a 2005 V6 'Stang in my '79 Volvo 244 behind a turbocharged '93 Volvo 4cyl motor. My question is this: I'm hunting for a shifter handle since the transmission I bought didn't come with one, and I can't find anything at the junkyards around here. I see quite a few listings on Ebay for shifter handles (both stock and aftermarket), but many of them aren't listed as compatible with the 2005 trans. Some are '79-'04, some are '83-'04, and others are '86-'93, etc. There's only 2 bolt holes...do they match up regardless of the year of the transmission?

You will need a 05+ T5 shifter since the 05+ shifters are remote mounted. You need just the handle or the whole shifter?

Just the handle. I have the stock shifter, which should be fine for now. I'll probably make the jump to a short shifter later.

Are there any suppliers that y'all would recommend? I can't seem to find any stock shifter arms on Ebay.
