Default Re: 5 speed Escort?

From all accounts the celica conversation is a better gearbox conversion but you need a sunroof to accommodate the gear stick....its about 1.0m long and hits the handbrake.
Ive had a few 5 spd Sierra gearboxes in Escorts and its pretty much an overdrive unit. Same again the gear stick is longer and is further back than standard.
Im putting a 5 spd in my Capri which doesnt require as much modification, but ill be undergoing an Escort conversion as well later in the year so will be interesting to compare having not driven one for many years.
