got a little more work done. how many posts have we seen about people burning front exit shifter cables? here is what I did to protect mine. first the way it is routed makes a huge difference. and then I wrapped all of my wires( neautral safety switch & E-shift wires)my tranny cooler line and shift cable with a protective cover. you can get it at any local parts store. 1 pack did everything.

other side you can see the cable is no where near the header.

I've always slid steel braided line over my tranny cables in tight spots, it not only protects the cable against direct heat it also helps contain the inner cable should the outer casing eventually wear through...


I just pull off the cable nuts and squish the braided line over, it's tough to get the braided line over the threaded end at first, but it will go. And it works.

That's a great idea I have mine run out up to the starter where it makes a u-turn and is wire tied to the starter and then back to the trans.Steel braid next time.
