I had that issue on my Mirada once.... A freind of mine works of aircraft and gave me a 3' section of Aerosleave that they use at work to shield fuel lines, ignition wiring from heat sensitive areas. That shifter cable is 20+ years old now and as far as I know, is still working. Stuff used to be hard to find, but as mentioned above, you can get it at Jegs/Summit.
