Hayden,

Sorry, I don't have any parts for the 235-5 - box.
These are VERY hard to find now, so consider yourself lucky even if it's not complete. A friend of mine had one, but sold it two years ago for around $1000. Tell me which parts you need and I'll keep my eyes open just in case...
Asking a dealer may be worth a try. I once found a set of new tii struts at my local dealer and got them cheaper than what a used pair sell for.

A 5 speed from the "big 6" engines will fit the 4 cyl. engine, so that's what I will do, although it requires cutting the gearbox tunnel and raising it a bit to accomodate the larger box.
The reasons I do this is that I can get one of those cheap, they can deal with more HP (not really that important for me yet, but you newer know what the future brings) and I don't mind modifying the tunnel. It is heavier than the 4 cyl. box, but not that much.
5th is an overdrive gear, which is what I want. 7-8 years ago I drove 3500km through Europe with a 4 speed and the original 4.11 final drive on my 02. That was noisy on the Autobahn
