Running Wires Into Cabin While I'm under the car, I wanted to get the wires for the electric cutout routed into the cabin. What's the best way to get wires through the transmission shift area without removing the transmission? I did a search and am not seeing this info.

Sounds like a good idea. I wasn't sure if anything would obstruct something from freely heading down there.
I've never had to do this, but do you think you could drop down a long string with a nut tied to the end as a weight from the top of the grommet hole where the shift linkage is and then tie your wire to the rope and pull it through the grommet hole where the linkage is?

Well I can't remember exactly how I did it without looking at it but I definitely had the trans still in the car and only removed the center console. Just resealed around where I pulled the wire through with silicone. That s what I did for the wideband. I don't remember using anything fancy to accomplish it outside of maybe some hemostats or long needle nose pliers. Once you take out the console it's pretty easy to figure out.
Iirc I ran the cutout wires somewhere under the rear seats where there was another grommet beneath the carpet.

Thanks for the input, I'll look into that!
