There's a bit of adjustment to the linkage, back by the gearbox, but if that doesn't help you've got four choices...
- Add a bend to the lever.
- Semi-radical floor & linkage surgery to move the change box backwards on the floor.
- Put the stereo elsewhere, easiest by cutting a slot further over on the dash.
- Give up on the whole plan...

As it says on the brickwerks link for the short shift kit above if you are scraping your knuckles on the dash then the linkage is worn of the stick bent

Re: moving the gearstick
set up everything as it should be / once was and there will be no problem
badly adjusted linkage or bent stick is the culprit!
