I've been poking around some Protege/Escort/Probe forums, and cannot find a definitive answer on this: What manual transmission is used on the '99-00 Protege LX 1.6?

I'd like to do a 5th gear swap on my Protege, but I'm not sure what transmission I have, so I don't know what transmission would work as a 5th gear donor.
