I am also trying to do this. I encountered a "Manual" on here for EJ22 swap. The manual was comprehensive, though it said the a five speed from EJ22 could be swapped into EA81 body. I am unable to find any crossmember that will fit under my car. The stock one from EA81 does not allow for the height of the EJ transmission. Anybody know anything about this?

You will probably have to fab one up yourself. I doubt you will find a "bolt in" crossmember for an EJ 5MT <--> EA81 body. Sounds like a neat project :D

There is a "bolt in" option. It's a combination of the ea81 4spd crossmember and the center and rear sections of an ej transmission crossmember. The drawback is that it interferes with the stock ea81 sway bar.
