I asked this question during my initial investigation. Because of the torque power band of a Type IV engine, I was talked out of wanting a 5-speed. The amount of money spent to make a 5-speed work (fitment and strength), would be better served by installing a limited slip differential into a 4-speed. On top of that, one would shift one extra time without utilizing the power curve--in other words, a 5-speed would be inefficient.
If memory serves me correctly, a 914 tranny would yield one forward gear and five reverse gears.
At this point, I'm leaning towards a 2270 and a 4-speed from R.A.T. when the time comes.
