TH400 cable, which are you using... like the title says, which cable are you using and how are you routing it. i keep managing to pick up a pretty long cable and after some use (say 3 months of driving it on the weekends) the cable tends to break. im sure its getting kinked up under the dash area and the center console (dont want it protruding towards my leg, it would be very annoying and not to mention unprofessional looking) but there isnt much i can to as far as moving the shifter around.... its a hurst 1/4 stick pro shifter.... if i put it too far forward it hits the dash, i pull it too far back it will hit the console and stop me from going into third, also if i raise the shifter any higher then i wont be able to route a cable to it since the dash will get in the way..... just wondering if anyone has some recommendations.

right, you are using the stock shifter. im not.... the button on my shifter is for the transbrake... im looking for peoples input who have the same shifter or similar and want to know how they are routing things and what length cable they are using so that its not binding up.
I have a B&M ratchet shifter (a lot less movement on shifts) in my Th400 setup and it came w/ a 5' cable. Sitting in the drivers seat for reference, the cable runs out of the cabin directly above the tranny then makes a long curve towrds the right and slightly down at the same time. The curve continues all the way around over the tailshaft of the tranny and then drops down on the left side to bolt into the the cable bracket! How long is your cable?
Im running the B&M 5' heavy duty cable. I run it out the exact same hole as the factory one, down the passenger side of the Tranny case, loop it around(in front of the trans mount) and back towards the gear selector on the TH400. I run it the exact same way B&M recommends and it works great!!

Hurst Quarter stick with the supplied bracket and cable. I have my shifter sitting on a home made 3" spacer in the rear and a 2" spacer in the front. This angle allows me to run the cable through a hole right in front of it. Not under the dash. Works great. Also it sits high enough so in park the shifter **** does not hit the dash.
