You can use the column shift linkage, you just have to put a few flat washers under the bushing tab at the trans to raise the bellcrank about 3/4". Then bend the inside arm of it that attaches the linkage to the trans to line it back up. Ive done it, it works fine. Yes you may need to change the lengths of the linkage a bit but if you want to use column shift you can do it.
