I have read good things on that cable and shorter does make sense so I ordered the size and type your referring to, of course mine is a TCI fast gate shifter but they all really similar so I'll try it and report back, I also am taking this opportunity to upgrade tranny pan as well so I will report back. Also what size hole u have cut in your floor 1"? Also I know it's a lot to ask but do u have any pictures ? Thanks for the help as well
