Column Cable Shift

[Bobbystill]

Found a thread that shows what I am talking about for connecting the cable to the column. Figured I'd link it here incase others stumble across this. https://gbodyforum.com/threads/column-shift-with-4l80e.67067/page-1

I’ll be fabbing up a yoke/cable/bracket for mine that pulls over top of the column. I don’t have enough room in the stock location to run a coat hanger........much less the factory rod or a cable.

Would you mind posing some pictures when you get it done? That sounds pretty interesting. Are you routing it on the driver side of the brake booster?

I wonder if replacing the body mounts might fix your problem?

Will do and yes. I’m looking at the Ididit kit but the cable mount will need to be made since theirs won’t work on my column.

Brand new urethane mounts. It’s a 500 Cadillac problem
