I believe you would set the value of select the same way as without using the jqTransform.

E.g.

$('#mySelect').val('myVal');

Edit:

Well, this is really ugly but should work:

var mySelect = $('#mySelect');

//find the current selected option
var myOption = mySelect.find('option[value='+mySelect.val()+']');

//find the index of that option
var index = $('#mySelect option').index(myOption);

//trigger the click on the corresponding jqTranfsform element
mySelect.prev('ul').find('li').eq(index).find('a').click();

You can call onchange event. jqtransform has change() method.

$('#mySelect').val('myVal').trigger('change');

It work's :)
