only what I read briefly on that link, they probably do a 5 speed too, but only glanced at it last nite. I only joking about the 3inch cut and lower seat, though I do know someone that cut his gear stick for a shorter throw, hmmmm!!
I agree with your idea of raising the selector box though, but the hieght on the one in the pic looks like its more than just a raising of the pivot point to me.
