I'm pretty sure it is, looking at your year, but double check to see if you have a hydraulic and not the mechanical clutch. If you have a mechanical, the only way you're getting a 5-speed is to swap out the entire clutch system all the way to the pedals.

Pics. Note you may run into the Mazda trans in your travels--an ok trans, but not as strong as the ZF and first is not a "low" gear.

The ZF was put behind 460s and diesels too, so be sure you find one from a 300 or 351w.
