I have fitted a 65 out of an sd1 and found the o/all length different and
had to change the rear extension housing and drive flange it is easier to
fit a late p6b trans you also will need to use the cable shifter .these wear
where they rub so inspect the cable it is worth the trouble the 65 is a
nicer trans to drive the shift points are set higher and you don't drop
straight into top gear at roundabouts etc and get left at no revs as you
take off
