I'm one problem away from driving!!! I just finished my LQ9 swap and it is almost ready to go! I have solved a bunch of problems, but am stuck at the shifter cable.
The shifter and cable are from an 80s Monte Carlo SS (which was never offered with a 700) and I have bolted my 4L60 to the LQ9. FYI a 4L60 is basically a 700R4.
The problem is that the cable is too short and looks like it won't work with the bracket on the trans anyway.
Any help is appreciated.

Or any aftermarket shifter of your choice that works with 4 speeds trans.

I just solved a similar issue on my 1984 C4. I used a '02 Camaro 4l60e. The corvette shifter/cable wouldn't travel far enough to shift into all gears. I modified the shifter cable so that it would travel farther. Don't know if you can do the same.
