Although I haven't tried this yet, you may be able to get past the shifter problem with the help of a local machine shop.
I think (anyone, please jump in here if you disagree) all you need is a slightly longer shaft between the 2 shifter arms. 1/2-3/4" would probably fix it.
Find a machine shop and ask them to thread a piece of metal rod a bit longer than the stock piece to fit the ball joints and it's done. The cost would be minimal. Just remember that one end will have left-hand threads.
