Please excuse the ignorance but.... Does the SA5 speed have a
freeway-cruising-at-low-engine-revs-gear or a climb-up-the-goat-trail
-really-slowly  gear ?

   Why not come to Australia for a holiday and take one home in your
suitcase.
   All manual waterboxers sold here were 5 speed and with our $ running
at about
   $0.58US it'll be cheap holiday and a relatively cheap gearbox...:)
   I can even point you in the direction of a reliable gearbox
builder...

   Just a thought,
