Are you retarded or something? Don't post flames if you're unaware on the subject. Go Search, read, learn and by all means post constructive posts, but don't flame on shit you don't know.
KA tranny with SR bellhousing will work fine for you.

you CAN go into 5th gear if the syncro is bad.

Do this:

In 4th, shift into nutral, let the clutch down.
Rev the motor up. Then clutch in, move to 5th.

Should work if its just a syncro.
You are wrong beITCH!!! hahaha but your somewhat correct,

While upshifting, your need to slow your gearbox down so you do this:
4th, shift to neutral, let out clutch, let gears mesh for about 3sec, clutch in, shift to 5th.
While downshifting, you need to speed your gearbox up so you do this:
4th, shift to neutral, let out clutch, rev the motor (to the RPM that you WILL be in when your in the gear your shifting to ie, 4th at 3000= 3rd at 4000), push in clutch and shift to 3rd before the RPM's drop.
