just done a 2.0 conversion, all we had to do was reverse teh little cube shaped linkage on the gearbox, so it had a little longer reach, and trimmed a little bit off the gear stick to help get in 5th gear!

I've got a pic at home of the part you need to flip. I'll post it up later if you haven't done it by then.

A HAYNES manual also describes in detail how to fine tune the gear linkage.

Also as posted above, if you pull back the lever gaiter in the cabin, when you push the gear lever over to the right (for 5th gate) there is a plastic shim which may need trimming down to help engage 5th, if it was a 4sp car initially.
