IF it has a 2.8 bellhousing it'll bolt up, but the '84 4sp trans has the small diameter synchros and "short" 1st gear relative to other T-K transmissions...
So while it'll bolt up it's going to have a very short life followed by a sudden violent end.
Unless you wanna do it just to see how badly you can fubar the trans
I'd look for something else.

You want a Mazda M5OD-R1 behind the 4.0 if you want a 5 speed.
