I did this on an '08, not an '09, so I can't tell you if they have the same issue or not. (In fact I can't tell you whether they even have the same shifter assembly.)
I hammered the sheet metal back directly behind where the shift mechanism hits it in the picture, to create enough clearance. You're right, it isn't much; 1/2" should be enough. Remember to do it across a wide enough area to account for all three gears, 1-3-5.
