Default 4 speed to 5 speed mk4 swap.

hello every1

my mk4 escort started as a 1.3 bonus, and now currently has a xr cvh with standard 4 speed in it. i want to put either an xr or rs 5 speed in to it.

if i get the box and selector, will the 5 speed fit evrything else...i.e. gearbox cradle and drive shafts??

if so, can a s2 rs limited slip diff box be used as a direct swap with the bonus shafts and gearbox cradle?? thanx all!

Empty all the old oil out and measure how much you put back in.I think it tells you in the back of the haynes manual ive not got mine at home otherwise i'd tell you im sure some one on here will be able to let you know.
