gear boxes

[hfeld4]

hi, i am doing a gear box conversion from an auto to manual in my mk2 escort. i am putting a celica 5 speed box in it. and i am just wondering if anyone knows any problems i will run into with this conversion and also if anyone knows what i will have to do for a tail shaft like weather or not ill have to get a custom one or weather i can just get the escort one shortend.
any help would be appreciated. i have also attached a picture of my escort

thanks
