I have a /4 shift rod that matches a sleeve in the transmission housing very nicely. I’m wondering if I can cut both ends off and weld on a straight pipe

Build a jig first, so that the ends are held in precise alignment. That will save you a lot of headache...

I cut pie s ections out at each. End to allow m e to bend the rod more. Easily. After determining that it worked I welded in the slots.
