Default What are you auto guys doing for shifter cable?

I have a B&M megashifter in my car, with the engine/tranny moved back for this swap the tailhousing is interfering with the cable

what have you guys done to get it through?

I'm afraid to bend it much if any....I've broken 2 of these cables as is in the last 3 years

You could just order a short cable and not have to loop it.

if the cable was shorter, it would bind up on the turns. thats the problem.the linkage is now to close to the shifter. its better to use a long cable.

very true, last time mine broke I ordered 3 sizes from summit and sent the ones that didn't fit as well back

I believe mine is the 5 foot heavy duty one.
