Any experiences with 5 spd transplant in 86 5kcst?





I am tired of the slushbox in my 5k and would like to install a 5spd.
Was planning on pulling a tranny from a coupe.  If anybody has done this
conversion please feel free to share any details.  I was concerned with:

Compatibility of pedal assembly between coupe and sedan.
Sensor mounting for crank trigger.  Will 5 spd bellhousing have sensor
mounting points?
Will new flywheel have trigger pickups?
Is clutch hydraulic or cable?
If both styles are available which one is easier to transplant?
Are auto trans drive axle same length as 5spd?
Do axle flanges on 5spd mount to 5k inner cv joints?

I'm sure I'm missing a couple things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
