Change transition effect in countdown timer

Change transition effect in countdown timer

I'm using the countdown timer from:
www.littlewebthings.com/projects/countdown/

The countdown clock numbers use a slideDown effect (I think I'm using the correct terminology). I'd like to change the effect so there's no animation as the clock counts down -- I just want the numbers to change like on a regular digital clock.

Example of the slideDown effect I'd like to change:

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Here's the jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js code:
