Cable comes through the floor, forward above the starter, then I route it between the starter and the block. This keeps it tight to the tranny, and away from the exhaust. Exits below the starter and runs straight back to the shift arm on the tranny. I've had it like this for years without a problem. The only time I have burned a cable was a few years back, but that happened when I tried to route the cable a different way with zip ties and such. Went back to the between the starter and block path when I replaced it. Nope. Thats with the stock length cable that comes in the box. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

Might be easier with other cars, but that ws the only good route for my c-body with headers. Hamburg/Germany 69 Chrysler 300 446cui Dual Quad 12.64 @ 110.7

The only downside to a Lokar is you don't have any "lockout" between gears. 1957 Dodge truck, Snakeskin Green with a little stroker motor. 1964 Plymouth Savoy wagon ( my new project)

The header tubes are larger on the W2 TTis so they create some clearance issues. The shifter comes with the 5 foot Super Duty cable and it was laying right on the number 5 tube. Went to a 4 foot regular duty cable (less sheathing material) and it worked perfectly. Nowhere near any heat. The regular duty is a little more flexible which helps with routing. A 3 foot cable would have been too short. Like some suggested above, I tried to route it around the right side with the 5 foot but the angle of the cable where it attaches to the pan bracket was too severe and it was causing binding.

This is the best photo I can come up with, although I am not sure if there is enough detail. This works real well in my Dart. Master, again and still
