Just seen this. The big problem as I remember from 25 years ago(!) is that even when you get the lid on, the boss for the gear stick is central on a 3 speed and offset to the side on a 4 speed. the result is the 4 spd gearstick would be very close to the starter which makes gear selection difficult. I gave up at this stage, but I have seen shaped gear sticks which I assume were made by more persistent persons.
