You need a tranny, Preferably an FF/FJ/FN/FH I've only seen the
FF) or ACH/AGS/AOP/4S/ACN/AON/ASF/ACL (A1, A2 respectively,
ACH is probably more common but a slightly higher final drive ratio)
a 5 speed tranny mount and one or both of the plastic, snap-ball
end shift rods. The shifter, if set right will accomodate all the
gears as is. Remove the old one and bolt in the replacement. :-)
You may need to adjust the shifter and that's about it.
