shifter stops???

Don't. The T-56 has internal stops and the dealer may flick you crap if you ever have tranny problems.
I doubt the dealer would blame transmission failure on a short shifters shift stops… but as for setting them imagine or use a piece of paper and try to get about 2 pieces between the shifter and the stop in 3rd gear for the top and 2nd for the bottom. Also run through all the gears and make sure you have clearance to get into each gear, and don’t forget reverse. You’ll love it short shifters really make a difference in an ’03 even in my ’99.
tranny noise
a noticable gear whine is present especially in first gear till about 2000 rpm, i don't notice it as bad in other gears, also some tranny fluid was in the valley where the shifter sits. is this normal?

The whine is based on the shifter I hear more complaints on the steeda shifter then others, but then again each and every shifter manufactured nay differ. As for the fluid I would say no it's not normal and ask if your sure it was tranny fluid.
Re: tranny noise
It is absolutely normal. Do not be alarmed by this. I have changed the shifter in two different Mustangs and both had this.

Steeda Tri-Ax instructions say to set the stops with a gap of .020", that should work for other shifters too.
IXSLR8 check your PMs
