I would make sure that the cable works with the gear shifter.

If you can get all the gas out and the fumes You can probably use a heat gun to soften the corner enough to push it in out of the way

it wont crack? its wortha shot i guess

Yeah, you can heat it up and push it in. Its not easy, as the tank is fairly thick. You need to drain it completely, and gett he fumes out (use an air hose stuck inside).

You will need to heat it up a fair amount (heat gun may not be enough), and then use a ball peen hammer or the like (round side) to pound it in.

Your other option, which is far easier. Is to trim the pan. You can easily cut that corner down without any real downsides. Have had to do this in other vehicle engine/tranny swaps before.

You may just have to do both.

I think if you used a heat gun http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=66098 [in a very well ventilated area] with proper precautions and a body dolly http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=31277 you could easily "massage" it to a sufficient clearance. Just taking the corner off of the pan may not be enough clearance.

why not just use a fuel cell? you can usually order then in different sizes. a place like - fuel safe - can make custom tanks too.
