It took a lot of trial an error , but I'm pleased with the operation of the transmission linkage mockup. This setup is nearly perfect for the ratio needed to transfer .82" of pushbutton cable travel to the 2.5" needed to operate the transmission shifter arm. Only minor hole relocation will be needed, so the next iteration will be the final design. I'm also pleased that the force needed to push the rod with one finger is not excessive, so things are looking brighter. Now I can proceed with the final design of the linkage at the pushbutton end.
