[ROVERNET - UK] Celica 5 speed into a 3500s

[Scott's Old Auto Rubber]

Some people have little trouble, but you can not dispute the fact that the 
Celica box is superior, I don't want to open another can of worms or start 
an international incident!! There are also new kits for putting Commodore 6 
speeds onto the Rover engine, anyone had any experience?
Thankyou,
Scott.
