h22aEJ1

whats up guys i have a h22a swap in my ej1. it has the p2u5 manual accord transmission and the gears are upside down ! in other words 1st 3rd and 5th gear are not on top they are on bottom where 2nd 4th and reverse go and vice versa. ive been told to swap the shift linkage cables around and ive looked at both sides, where the connect under the hood and where they connect to the shifter and they dont look the same size to be swapping. do they mean that the engine side needs to be in the shifter side or just take one off and put it where the other goes ? any info would be great ! this is my daily driver and its kind of annoying driving it like that since the swap has happened haha
