I stayed with shorties, but never heard of that problem. Have you checked on Corral? there's a bunch of threads there.

You can not use a 04 cobra t56 in a fox body with longtubes without changing the intermediate plate that changes where the clutch fork comes out...it needs to be changes from 7 to 9 oclockk position.
