Answer
Douglas-

  You'll definitely need to grab the computer and associated wiring from the '94 since I believe they used an electronically controlled transmission, unlike you 5spd that had no computer control.  That'll be the biggest issue.  To be honest my knowledge of Probes isn't vast, but I imagine the rest of the swap should go smoothly.  You may need some different mounts and certainly a different shifter and linkage, but other than that I wouldn't expect any big speedbumps.  Hope this helps.
