FWD Mopar folks step inside...shift cable content

I was hoping to re-use the stock cables from my SRT4 donor on my Midlana project, but it looks like they are going to be about 10" too short. I am hoping that there are some other cables in the Mopar parts bin that I can use in their place. The stock cables use "booger bushings" at each end and it is my understanding that this style of cables has been used for quite a while.

My stock cables are 48" long, I am looking for something in the 58-60" range. Bonus points if the exposed ends on the transmission end are the same. The stock cables have different "throws". One has a throw of 6-9 inches measured from the mounting bracket, the other has a throw of 9.5 to 10.5 inches. Overall length is more important than throw though, I can always make a new mounting bracket.

Thanks!

Go to a boat repair shop and get some push-pull cables in the proper length.

A quick search on turbo-mopar.com suggests the longest factory cables are only 49 and 55" long. If you can find a way to use 2 of the 55" cables you might be in the ballpark. They would be on 90-93 5spd Daytonas.

I like the boat shop suggestion.

I ordered a shift cable for a 92 Dodge Shadow (everybody only lists one for some reason) and it is indeed 55 inches long and fits the all of the stock mounts. I will need to finish building my chassis (actually need to start building it ) to see if it will be long enough. Unfortunately it was $75, so I will be returning it and watching the junkyard for more challenge friendly priced cables.

Always extend the cables with rods or something?

If it is in fact a Shadow cable you ordered, it will be shorter than the equivalent Daytona cable. The Shadow/Spirit (P and AA body) cables are shorter than the Daytona/LeBaron (G and J body) cables.
