I just swapped an '87 engine and transmission into my '85. Both cars were turbos with 5 speeds. Not until I got the "new" engine installed did I realize that the shifter linkage is a little longer on the '85s. What I mean is... on the shifter linkage on the transmission, there is a part with a rubber donut that is about 5 inches long that is the peice that has the taper pin driven through it, and it also has the clamp for tightening onto the shifter rod. On the '87 transmission, this thing is about 3 inches long, and on the '85 it was about 5 inches long. So I got the '87 engine and transmission installed and then found out that the linkage didnt come close enough to the shifter rod in the car. Had to take the engine/trans back out to swap those things. Those taper pins are impossible to get out, too.
