When you ordered the LETSLA, did you ask them to drill and tap for the SSC cables? The OEM cables have a 6-mm holes...the SSC cables have 8-mm ball joints. If not, it is real easy to drill the tapped hole with a 6.6-mm drill and tapping the required holes with a M8-1.25 tap.
To make the least amount of drag on the cables, you have to set the shift cable to the shortest throw and the cross gate cable to the second from the shortest throw. Once you get in there, you will see what I mean...the cables will be the straightest.
Then for the adjustment - The whole trick to adjusting is to set the cross gate cable first by adjusting the neutral point of the shift lever and the neutral point of the gear box. Both are spring loaded to return to center. They both must coincide otherwise you won't get smooth shifting. Now that you have shorter throws, you need to put a spacer under the brown phenolic block for the reverse lock-out. I used a piece of plastic...you can use a sheet of aluminum. It just needs to be about 0.020" thick. As for the shift cable adjustment, all it does is place your shift lever forward or aft...set it as close as you can to the plane of the steering wheel. There are limitations to this adjustment.
Oh yeah...you will also need a longer M6 bolt inside for the shift cable at the shift lever. It is very tight in there and the shift cable gets forced to one side if it is not spaced out about 10-mm at the shift lever. Again, you will see what I mean once you get in there...
Good luck!
