700R4 cable-shift conversion?

[shanker]

I had to move my transmission back 2.5" for engine crossmember clearance, and now the mechanical shift linkage doesn't line up properly.

I could modify the linkage but I never liked the feel of it anyway.

Is there a company that makes a cable-shift kit that allows me to use the factory column-shift?

and evilbay has them for about 100 bucks shipped all day.

Sounds like a good excuse to go Art Carr shifter.

Just bought the Lokar kit! Thanks guys

I've used the gate-style shifters and they're great if you adjust them properly, but I need to keep it simple because I'm using up too much of my brain on the Isuzu 4BD1-T diesel swap: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=258780

I just bought one for the 4l80e that is getting put into my m1008. Will be sure to let you know how it turns out.

I installed the cable-shift Lokar kit. I'm having a lot of trouble mounting it properly and getting it to shift at all!

I should've gone with a floor-mounted shifter with linkage instead of a cable. Oh well.

If you guys have any tips for me let me know!
