definately could be 5spd swapped i had a shop look at it they just wanted 1200 for labor would take about 10 hours. and you would have to throw about 1300 worth of clutch parts.. Master cylinder.. Slave, cluth pedal assembly.. tranny.. cross member.. the works... if you wanted to do it right and right the first time.. sure you could find ways around this... nicoclub... parts forums here and if you know someone that could do it for you it would be a whole lot cheaper i just looked up what it would cost to have it professionally done and with all new parts.. got some people lookin at it right now soo ill keep it posted.....
