no issues if you stay with the same family
of transmission. a tk4 is just a tk5 with
a spacer instead of a gear. a mazda
is longer, so you have to move the mount
and change driveshafts.

does this mean tk4 internals could be used to repair a tk5?

 

[schmoo]

yes. just make sure they are
both the same family. tho i once
used the internal parts from a
falcon 3 spd to rebuild a mustang
3 spd. the cases and shift parts
looked quite different, but i used
the best parts from both and
the trans worked like new.

an the slave cylinder mounting is different.

i believe the tk4 is internal, and the tk5 is external.

i have three tk4's, they are external.
