I'm done with my whole T-5 swap except installing the clutch cable and adjusting it. Now I bought a quadrant, cable, and fwa like UPR knockoff or somehting and I went to route the cable on Saturday and it seemed waaayy to long. It was like halfway down my h-pipe before I got to the end. I was thinking I routed it wrong so I tried a few different ways but it was still way too long. I don't know exactly how long my cable is cuz it's outside in the car right now, but does anyone have pics of how theirs is routed or know what the proper length is?

I ran mine not under the engine mount ears, but over the ear and along the oil pan (kinda). I chatted with Jeremy about it, as it seemed alright to me (I was concerned with chafing) and we agreed that as long as the cable's radius was loose (no sharp bends) it should work.

Good luck.
