I know it is off subject but I saw a shifter with a slot milled in the front with the wire glued into it. You will never even notice it. Just need a machine shop to do it unless you are a ninja with a grinder!
This is exactly what I have been thinking of trying, for the wires routing...
Aside from that, after reading more of these replies, I am quite certain that my 727 has no low band apply. It will free wheel (coast) in first gear if I let off the gas. It was set up for drag racing. I am rebuilding it before Spring so would like to know more about modifying it for low band apply, for safety reasons.
Not trying to hijack this thread, as I think it does pertain to the OP's subject somewhat at least.
