Re: Sooo, swapping to a 5sp???
It'll work fine weba, it's a small piece no bigger than 3"x2" that protrudes from the edge of the subframe to act as a stop for the rotation on the trans. If you have stiff mounts it'll never come close to touching it. I don't have a picture, sorry.

It's not terribly difficult. I've done 2 now. The last one only took 5 days.

Re: Sooo, swapping to a 5sp???
Seems like you wont even have to do any welding. That was the "hardest" part of my swap. Second was probably putting the hole in the firewall for the clutch master cylinder. Other then that, a pretty simple swap for anyone that has decent knowledge/capability.
3400/5 speed, internet Tune, FFP UDP, Billet/poly mounts, ported intake manifolds, WAI, 2.5" mandrel exhaust w/ dp, Borla ProXS, Intrax, KYB, poly front end kid, welded a-arms, strut, shock and sub-frame braces.
