You know it does make a difference which model year car you are tying to swap this into. Very different speed sensors in a 1996-1998 (VSS) verses 1999-2004 (OSS).
Note, a T-45 comes with a VSS sensor as well as a OSS sensor.
Aside from the electrical considerations, the MT82 is very different in physical shape; wider case, and the shifter sits much further back. I've seen it done in Foxes, but I believe they had to use a specific shifter (to shorten the length a bit), and massage the transmission tunnel to get it to fit.
