As I recall, when I was thinking about doing something similar with a 
FWD transmission for my coupe (to get lower gearing with a cable clutch 
tranny), the instructions are basically in the Bentley.  The hard part 
is, the adjustments to the gear lash (amount of play) are very precise 
and critical.  Get it wrong and the gears will tear each other apart, I 
suppose.

I think some of the measurements might have been in ten thousandths of 
an inch, rather than the almost visible thousands of an inch that make 
machine work fun.

I don't see why *someone* couldn't do it, even if that someone was a 
machine shop or transmission shop you bring the work to.  This would 
only work, of course, if the parts actually fit in the different 
housings and on the shafts, etc.
