I understand how to go about actually solving the problem as far as removing the selector rod, bending it, and reinstalling it to clear the driveshaft/harmonic balancer. My question is that if driven, what if any damage is being done? Obviously the sound/vibration is obnoxious but is there going to damage the driveshaft and or other components of the driveline?
I ask because I am attempting to drive home from school (Savannah GA) to Annapolis MD next week. I don't have an ideal place to perform this modification and I can't afford to pay a shop at the moment, especially knowing I can do it for free.
If I can safely drive the car to MD I have access to a lift that should make the job extremely easy. All of that being said is this an issue of an annoying vibration that can be ignored over a long drive or is there great potential to cause serious damage?
