Hi guys ive just finished fitting my engine and modified my tunnel to fit the ca18 five speed.All in all its not to bad and only took me a day to do as long as you have acsess to a mig welder and basic tools.Her is a set of instuctions that I used

1.Reove the original gearbox mounts from inside the tunnel.I drilled out the spot welds then used a air chise to get them out.

2.From the rearmost point of the original gearstick hole measure back 200mm.From this point cut horizontally across the tunnel.Then cut down the sides until you reach the little steps in the tunnel.

3.Place the garbox on a jack and fit it into the tunnel this shold push up through the cot you have allready made

Then all you need to do is trim off the excess metal and make a box to go over the hole with 1mm sheet and weld it in.You will also need to cut a new 90mm gearstick hole

hope this helps
