1984 EA81 GL Wagon 4 spd 5 spd Conversion Questions

Sapper 157
in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Ok so I am considering putting a five speed in my  wagon but I have no knowledge whatsoever  about transmissions so I have quite a few concerns.

 

1. Is it even possible to put a 5 speed in an EA81 with Dual Range?

 

2.  Will I have to alter my clutch since it is a different trans?

 

3. THE BIG QUESTION! How much would it cost (assuming I put it in myself) If everything else pans out this could be the defining factor as i am on a strict budget.

 

4. Anything else that I should know assuming one can even install a 5 speed in an 84 Wagon

 

Thanks all!
