B & M shifter question

I've got Schumacher headers so I don't have the routing issues you do but I still used a Thermo-Tec sleeve around the cable to shield it. I've heard of guys using heater hose and what-not as a shield.

Mine comes off the front of the trans, loop across the lower bellhousing, and then up to the shifter on the right side.
