Can an alto 796cc F8B engine be fitted with a 5 speed gearbox?

Not many F8B Altos came out 5 speed, in fact all 800cc models in New Zealand were 4 speed. I'm not sure if anything was available in Australia or even ex Japan as they're getting old. There are Alto clones made in India as Mauritis(?) and also Daewoo Ticos that were based on the Altos followed by the Daewoo Matiz which had a F8C injected engine 5 speed. Problems with the gearboxes from these later cars is that they may not bolt straight up to the Alto engine, they are cable gear change and have different size shafts on the CV axles. As the top gear on the Alto 4 speed is already an overdrive (0.9 to 1), I just compensated by fitting larger tyres (155/80x12s instead of 145/70x12s) to my CB91/SB308 Alto that I'm converting from automatic, I've dismantled several cars for donor parts and I've got plently of spares, Matthew :o).
