The shift lever is in drive right now, but the shift rod is hitting the bottom of the booster and will not let me shift into Park Reverse or Neutral.

If I cut the rod or installed a shorter rod so the lever could move up then I think the lever would end up hitting the booster as well. I say this because when you look at the shift detent plate that the shift lever slides against you can see the small hump on the plate which separates the reverse and park position. The park position is just to the right of that hump as seen in the pic and the reverse position is to the left of that hump.

I am trying to find a shorter rod to install so I can actually find out if that lever will also hit the booster when a shorter rod is installed. I dont want to cut my factory lever.
