I was told that you need the backing plate from a 2L which is thicker than
the 1600 plate. Although I did use that plate before being told it made
sense when it was explained to me. Seems the front input shaft of the 5
speed is slightly longer than the 4 speed and to prevent the shaft from
bottoming out in the crankshaft.
