I would just take it off. My truck used to pound through gears if you matted it. My brother in laws rusted off. With the RPMs these things have it is almost a joke they are on there. Mine kicks down just fine without the kick down rod and it is not forced and pounding. If I want to be in another gear I just pull the lever down.

You could just bend it back around to where it will move unless it's a lost cause. If you were closer I have a bunch of them laying around from turbo-ing them over the years.
They just need to take out almost all the play out of the lever at WOT.
