Mark,

I think in this case the OP is looking to upgrade his "crash box" transmission with a later SM420 that at least has synchro's in 2nd - 4th gears, instead of changing to a T-5 5 speed.

I am pretty sure there have been a number of conversations about doing just that. Going to let others with more knowledge than I have chime in here and offer some help.

Dan
