Nick,
You may know it already but the trany mount is different too. You will either
need to replace it with the 5 speed mount or cut and reweld the 4 speed one
lowering the mounting piece that the tail shaft bolts to.
Sorry, I do not know how much to cut. I would put the 2 tranys together side
by side and measure the difference at the shifter. Then go from there. Speedo
cable too.
