It would be a VERY easy swap. Direct bold on replacement for the 4spd from the Tercel.

Man, that's at least 25 cents worth.

In every transmission swap I've seen that involved a different amount of gears, the shifter assembly also had to be changed.

The shifter mechanism is the same on the two. The 91 Tercel looks different, but is the same functionally.

Are you sure the same 4-speed shifter is going to work properly with the 5-speed transmission?

Yes. I've made a few short shifters for the guys over the years. They're all the same. Its a very simple cable driven setup.
