V6 and V8 T5 shifters the same?

OK... can't seem to find a definite answer.

Wondering if the V8 and V6 T5 shifters are the same.

I have the V6 but plan on swapping a V8 & matching T5 this summer.

Want to order a short shifter but I'll wait for the swap if it isn't going to fit!

Why with stops? Thought this tranny didn't need them. Was eyeing this shifter: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=281297492773

Splined stick / shifter engagement is a must in my book.

Stops are only bad if misadjusted.

It's a stout, splined stick shifter that has outstanding feel.
