shifter cable???

I've had to change cables before because of improper routing and it would damage the cable. I'm not getting the carbon fiber shield but if you have to go with a longer or shorter cable then do so. I had to get a longer cable and put a nice loop in the cable from the shifter to the transmission which was a 727. The loop did wonders. The cable that came with the shifter was just to short and it was just causing trouble.
