Whats The Best Way To get Around The Gear Shift selector as The Original VL 6cyl Selector is on the Left Side and The TH700 V8 One is On the right and is a Very tight Fit Can only select 3 Clicks ? Dont really want to put a B&M Shift in i want the Original look as i have New Grey Calais Series II Seats to go in
