The lowest by a long way is the Reverse shift rod, which tips down at quite an angle over the crossmember. This is the one that calls for any spacer to be 1" thick - the 3/4 rod may foul the xmember but by much less and would work with a thinner trans mount spacer. Can't really tell unless I remove the reverse rod and retry.
The 1/2 rod is completely clear.
Maybe experiment by redrilling the reverse lever plate, repositioning the reverse rod, and seeing if it still works...
It's a Tiger toploader, btw
