In regards to a 4- to 5-speed swap, it was written:

Is this correct? I believe only the 4-speed uses the 90 degree drive.
I also believe the speedo cable for a 2000 is slightly shorter, which
isn't a problem for a 4- to 5- swap but may be an issue if using a
4-speed to replace a 5-speed.
Also, personal observation is a 4-speed/3.9 (stock 1600) is a better
match for around-town driving than a 5-speed/3.7 (stock 2000).
the 4-speed is geared a good deal lower: 3.382 / 2.013 / 1.312
versus the 5-speed's 2.678 / 1.704 / 1.262. That overdrive sure is
nice on the freeway, though.
