Odd shifter problem, need advice

I think these were all asked and answered up-thread, but since you asked ...

What are you running for trans lube?

Are you lining up the shifter with a drill bit on the underside opposite the shift handle?

I used a piece of round stock to lock the shifter in neutral

It's not a matter of speed shifting. With the current adjustment it grinds only going into first when rolling.

I haven't tried any of the suggestions yet because I'm undergoing a medical thing. I was hoping someone would just say make the shift rod a turn longer (or shorter) but apparently it's not that simple.

You can certainly try that. The issue of the shifter gate not lining up comes into play when you go too far.
Try to lengthen it one, possibly two, revolutions off center and see if the shifter will allow it.
Shouldn't have to do with clutch release though.

Honestly, I haven't figured it out clearly yet. Most of the "core" pedal assemblies I buy, do not come with specifics as to what engine/trans/model year combo they came out of originally.

Possibly 3 speed cars?

Yes, all the HD pedals I have run across are 6".

I would be more inclined to think it has more to do with engine size. /6 vs. 318 for example.
