My shifter cable is melted and appears to be a little long. How long of a cable do you have and is it too long as well?

Thanks

I wrapped mine around the trans in my 383/727 Duster, not sure of its length though.

I changed over to a linkage type shifter for the very same reason. I melted one in trafic in Biloxi last year.Had to call a buddy to bring a trailer and come rescue me. This is all on the 57 truck.

mine is 5' long. 4' is what I am going to replace it with for that reason, of to close to the headers.

Actually had that wrapped on there but it it slipped down.

This time I think I'll use this stuff.



I think I'll wrap a spring around the cable in that area too so if it melts again the inner cable won't just push out.

I'm thinking the same as 5' is the standard length the shifters come with.
