I've broken 2 shift cables in my omni (568). How do I route the bastard, it's the standard 6202181napa cable (shadow/daytona). I've tried many different methods, but I can't find one that doesn't put a huge bend in the cable while keeping it off the exhaust.

My latest effort put the cable in an S bend towards the driver side and then I zip tied it to a PS line and into the bracket. When I went to test it, it was so tight that I ripped the end off with the shifter.

I have a 555 in my omni, but the cables are bent down along the PS rack and then go up into the car farther back than where the rods origionally came out of. I have not had any problems yet.

does your cable intercept the ps rack on the passenger or driver side of the downpipe?

They travel toward the pass side, and are held close to the rack via zip ties which are just below the DP. I will eventually post some pics, but it will be a while. :(
