A518 Floor shifter issues

Bought a winters floor shifter , it will not work , it has bellcrank right at the overdrive solenoid and hits the case . After 1 1/2 days of trying to modify it I have given up . Any recommendation on a floor shifter besides Lokar or American shifter that will work on a A518 . Going in a dodge short bed pickup on the floor , note the Winters is a rear mount on trans .
