6spd swap?

What do I need to put a 2001 2wd 6spd in my 98.5 5spd? Will the tail shaft swap out, will the t-case adapter bolt on? Is the clutch and pressure plate and flywheel the same? Any advise would be helpfull

From quad4x4.com:

First gear and high gear are essentially the same ratios for both the NV4500 & 5600. Reverse gear is lower in the 5600 then most 4500's. The direct gear (1:1 ratio) for the 5600 is 5th, in the 4500 it's 4th. From a drivability standpoint, the difference between the two transmissions is the close ratio spacing of the 5600 doing in five gears what the 4500 does in four. Close shift ratios is a great asset for hauling and towing but a bit of a liability for daily city driving. The 6th or overdrive gear is mounted on the front of the mainshaft instead of the back like the NV4500. Consequently, the NV5600 does not have the problem of the mainshaft nut backing off.
