Probably

No, the spline on the 5th gear is smaller than the spline on 4th, so you
couldn't use a 5th gear set as a 4th. I think it's correct to say that you
cannot use a gear set in different positions due to the difference in spline
sizes.

The only differences in shaft sizes are the input shafts are bigger and the
4th gear spline is bigger on 2Y, AGB, CHE, AMC and DFQ.
3rd gear spline may also be bigger but not sure on that.
