Toploader shift rods

I've now fitted Nick's excellent correct trans mount bracket, for the T'bird rubber block. As was the case with the Mustang-style mount, the rear shift rod and lever foul the chassis crossmember by getting on for 1". So I can make up a plate to raise the tailshaft by this amount - but, has anyone tried shortening the shifter lever that the rod is connected to? Obviously shortening it will mean it doesn't move the rod quite as far as before, but would this be an issue? I'd prefer to retain the correct driveline angles, but if shortening the lever means it won't go into gear then the answer's obvious.
Just wondered if anyone has experience of trying this!
Roger
