Just wanted to add another question related to this post. What is the difference between 4spd and 5spd shifter cables?

The cables for each transmission model has a different method of attaching at the transmission, and each are different lengths due routing. Attachments at the shifter are the same.

The 4 speed cables run parallel and low across underneath the slave cylinder. The Isuzu cables run parallel and high over the top of the engine. The Getrag cables has one running below the slave and the other routes low around toward the left fenderwell and comes upward to the transmission.
