The shift tower is on the transmission...it doesn't have anything to do with the stick shift area inside the car as they are connected by the cables. The riser is probably required to allow the lowest point on the steeda to clear the floor panel. If you don't have an actual Ford Focus, then count on using a riser plate. Sounds easy enough to make one with a piece of wood if you don't have the plastic plate. Give the guy a chance to describe how its done so we can all use his "how-to".
