On my Fiat 128SL coupe I'm converting it to a 5 speed transmission from a 1979 Strada. Can the existing 4 speed shifter guide plate be modified to allow the fifth gear position? Has anyone removed the "block out" area for fifth gear as shown on the photos. Or was a later shifter from a five speed car like a Strada or Yugo used? There is a photo of the plastic Yugo shifter plate. I'd like to keep the original coupe chrome plated shifter rather than a Strada or Yugo black shifter. Those shifters would raise the position of the shifter knob. I've outlined the area on the metal guide plate that I think needs to be removed. Thanks in advance for any replies, Ken
