    What about the L shaped lever on the box itself?



    See how the longer arm points backwards and the shorter arm points sideways?

    On the grey box, i think you have to grind the sides, (where it stops to get into reverse) so that you can get 1st and 2nd easier. And for 2nd and4th just try using your old linkages, as yours a little to short, also isnt the one in your pic (the one you're touching) ment to be bent?

    If im correct, that will give you a closer ratio and that will allow you to get 5th within the confined space?
