Not sure if you have a five inch shift shaft extender piece or an actual 5′ longer shift shaft; but if you have the latter, all you need to do (if you can’t find a proper shorter shift rod) is cut 5″ off the existing rod and file or grind an identical groove around the top of it, for the shift connector bolt.
Long live American manufacturing!
