Been there 3 weeks ago. To get under the car you'll have to raise her. I can't see how you reach the transmission lever with her down. Maybe if you're really thin, and i mean REALLY. Anyway, if you're able to do it, take good care to block off the wheels, or have someone you trust pushing on the brake pedal (usally not the one who'll have the insurance...)

In my case, i've been able to put back the end of the cable on the transmission bracket/lever and it stays there without the clip. So i've able to drive the car to my brother in law's garage to get her on the lift (bringing my 4 hockey puck). Maybe it'll work for you.

Simple fix
Thanks for the help I ordered this part for my transmission cable. the clip that goes bad or falls off will never happen again and you don't need to remove tunnel or h-pipe just remove bracket and put this part on and walla your done it should last the life of the car.
