So, I still have not been able to get a straight yes or no answer on if a 99 EX 5th will fit into my 94 Del Sol Si transmission. Just getting a bunch of people saying just swap it for a VX, or saying it would be a lot of work to swap out the 5th gear.

I understand that I would see better mpg gains from a VX trans, but that isn't all that I am going for with the swap. I also understand that it will take a lot of work on my part to swap the 5th gear out instead of just doing a direct swap.

The things I do need to know though, is will the 5th swap into my tranny without issue? Will there be any modification to the shift linkage needed? Lastly, will it affect the accuracy of my speedometer at all?
