Hi Guys,
I've got bit of a problem I would like to eliminate. I've got a xf ute with a 351C, FMX box with a quick shifter. Exhaust running past both side of the transmission. I've melted through 2 shifter cables. Second cable I had mounted at least 60mm away from the exhaust. It's clear I need to make a heat shield and hoping that people can post up some photos of their set-up.
Cheers in advance.

How much clearence do you have? If I did it again I'd be slotting the holes no questions asked.

We had to customise it. Keen to see some photos. I can't even see how a longer cable would fix the problem. It would eliminate the tight bend I need to have but won't move it away from the exhaust.
I'm keen to see a heat shield or at least know a certainty on the heat thermal conduit. My cable melted from 5min drive. Closest point to the exhaust was about 60mm. Was hard mounted so would not have flexed into the exhaust.
