First time posting so I hope i'm getting it right, I have a nice 1981 EX lancer and i'm wanting to put a 5 speed behind the 4G11 1200 engine, I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some help and advice, what bolts straight up and what doesn't, will a 1600 5 speed bolt straight in, I feel like I've read that it does. Anyway thanks in advance to anyone that replies with any advice.

Hey guys, hoping someone has some suggestions: Recently had to replace my 88 Econovan maxi box since a friend mashed something up and I lost 1st and 5th. The box I put in was second hand, slightly different but I was assured it would bolt right up by the wrecker. (I confirmed the spline count was the same). I installed the replacement box, no issues bolting it up, but I got a loud whirring noise when I engaged the clutch. It sounds like something (presume the throwout bearing on the clutch fingers) spinning down to a stable speed. If I disengage the clutch, as I release I hear a chirp, (sounds like the TO bearing coming off the fingers) I suspected the throwout bearing obviously, so removed the box, and swapped back in the OLD TO bearing (which was in much better condition). I also bled the hydraulic clutch as I suspect that was not throwing as far as it should. Still not dice - the sound is not as bad but still there. When I had the box out, I checked the differences between old and replacement, and the TO yoke and bearing all seem the same. The gearbox input shaft seems very similar but I did notice about 5 or 10 mm difference in the distance of end of the shaft to the box mating face (the replacement box is a tad shorter). Does any of this add up to anyone?
