There is no 5 speed gearbox that will swap right in, but there are plenty of options.

Look in the Tech wiki, some people use the Celica 5 speed box.

With the celica conversion do you have to massage the trans tunnel to get it to fit ?

Easier to put an A15 5-speed in, especially since you've already got one

Any 5-speed from 1979-1982 Datsun B310 Sunny will replace what you have. Its also worth replacing the synchros. If you have dogleg shift 5-speed, synchros from a 4-speed fit.

Probably best to do what DD said rather than stuffing around with the Celica box. It requires a bit of work. Where as since you already have a 5speed fitted it shouldn't be a problem fitting an exact replacement
