A few other things must be changed as well.  The driveshaft is 
shorter.  The rear engine mount goes on a horizontal plate that fits 
tranversely across the frame members; when people pull an OD tranny 
out of a car this plate is typically forgotten because they don't 
realize it is different.  The speedometer drive is different too, I 
believe.  And the shift knob, of course.
