Are you talking about the kickdown link? IF so you can lengthen it. Just cut it off near the top, connect the 2 ends and measure the distance between the 2 cuts. then add a piece that long.

Only if the actual shifter linkage is also known as the kickdown - It's the rod that is attached to the shifter and shifts the transmission in and out of gear - just in case - it is an automatic if it matters
