You have to make/get a ball on the shift bracket. it is the same size as  the
ball on the beetle carbs.
Soooo.. you cut one off a old carb linkage with enough of the steel bracket
and brase it in the proper
place.  I have been  told someone makes bolt on replacements for  the ball (
carburator parts, but i have yet to find it).

Mine was rusted and snaped off when i went to replace the cable.  The  lever
unbolts from the trans to make
repairs.

My guru had some old carbs and we cut and brased to the lever. @ years
latter it is still working fine
