I'm picturing you feverishly making your way through every 300 on the aisle and madly tapping the shift lever to count gears...

"1-2-3-4-5...dangit. 1-2-3-4-5...dangit. 1-2-3-4-5-6 YES!"

EDIT: Should've clicked the link first. I see now that the E-shifter gives it away. At least my method is more entertaining...

Haha, yes, your method would certainly have been most entertaining.

It involved checking a lot of barcodes and shifters; unfortunately many 2011 and 2012 5-speeds with only cloth seats exist.
