Default Ok I give, 700 shift plate mod

I hear it is easy, but would like to know just what is involved and what to do. I just want to mod my existing shift plate in 79 L-82. I put in a 700R4 and want to get to first gear. Is it as simple as filing/cutting back the rear edge to allow the shifter notch tooth to go farther back?
