Sell the remote shifter and buy a box with the shifter you want.
There is a steady demand for remote boxes. You will end up with the box you want and some cash in your hand.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

There may be some difficulty fitting the remote shifter setup to another W5x as the remote shifter box has 2 extra mounting bosses on the side of the rear housing where part of the remote setup bolts to (the arms that slope down and forwards from the shifter to the rear housing of the gearbox)
