Need to modify the shifing linkage on an old Ariens, anyone done it?

Have an old 1970's 7hp Ariens with a newer engine that's going to be with us many more years.
The shifting linkage needs to be adjusted. It goes really fast in 4, and doesn't readily engage in reverse. When it does go into reverse, a tortoise can move faster. I don't trust neutral, and won't leave the machine running unattended.
Can't lengthen the rod adjustment - it's seized and I've tried every trick I know. I've been meaning to replace that part for years with something from the dump, but haven't found it. In the meantime is there a fix to lengthen the rod a bit without using the adjusting screw (locknut, shaft threads, rod... I'm not sure what to call that type of adjustment).
