Besides whats already said below, you have to cut out a new hole
for the shift knob, and cut off a cross brace in the tunnel. The shifter
is about 4 inches farther forward. You also probably have to cut a hole
for the speedo cable in the side of the tunnel and run the cable
under the carpet, unless you can find a right angle speedo drive.
But...its all worth it. E-mail me sepcor if you want to see some
pics, or want to know more. Mine is all apart right now, so I am
in an ideal way to take measurments or whatever is needed.

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.
