It will if you get rid of that slushbox 
Seriously though, you might run into clearance problems, but you might as well give it a try, it only takes about 5 minutes to swap them out.

Yes the swap is possible, you just need to get a top piece from a 5 speed for the console to swap and your set.
I have seen a few people do this on the site. I would personally just get a manual

I did it to mine becouse the POS auto shifter I have is not in the stock position. I will be keeping the manual for my Hurst Quarterstick as well to keep it as stock looking as possible.
