Hello everyone I once again create another dimension based question for the 2g and hopefully 1g as well.

There’s many options online for other platforms, and again I want to do a Guinea pig 🐹 experiment and try to fix one of my cables using these online options.

Or at the very least so I can make a link assembly.
As before if no own knows I’ll update once I take mines out and attempt with a random selection.

I know these Measurements are not exact but they are close, since the cables and the mounts are still in the car.

Accidentally measure the wrong cable in the above, so to account for the difference.

So approximately 27+33.5 -2 =58.5 inches from centerline to centerline total cable length

for example this K series Honda upgrade cable is very close to the measurements taken, and I’m confident the overall length will work as the DSM cables has a bit of an arc to it in the engine bay, and when I measured I tried to bend the tape to match the curve of the shifter.

This is sold as cables or a complete kit with a new shifter assembly, which would definitely resolve any issue with the length from centerline to mount, as it come with the bracket.

The bracket at the transmission side would need to be modified to work, but hopefully it will line up and fit the DSM bracket.

If the cable at a length of 58.7” is divided by 8 you get 7.33” why 8 cuz I’m approximating the mount location based on the image, this is very close to what I measure at both the interior and exterior
Mounts to center lines.
