Indeed the TS1 SSK shifter (and others I suspect) sits differently "at rest" on a 5 speed than on a 6 speed. Cable mount points were fine, the shift lever was canted at such an angle that it almost hit your leg when in first gear!

BTW the "adjustment" was not made by a redneck, just a country boy - with a tan from cruising with the top down! Very good observation tho!
