My swap was easy because the FWD 5th gear was in a position where my mechanic didn't even have to drop the tranny. It's just an "accidental virtue" of Saturn S-Series cars.
You have to do lots of homework on your model of transmission. Was it a "generic" type that was used in other cars? Is the 5th gear easy to get at or do you have to tear apart the transmission? Every car is different.
