    I would think Daytona cables would fit better. P body shifters are a little shorter than G bodies, not sure if they would reach enough in a spirit.
    Just a suggestion, as G body cables are very common.

    the cables in an A body car (Spirit Acclaim) are shorter or the same length as P body (Shadow Sundance). You can use the ones from a Daytona or Lebaron though. The shifter is close enough to a Daytona Lebaron or Shadow that you could use that too. The only thing thats really different on a Spirit is the pedal box.

    Really? Wow learn something new everyday. I wouldn't think that a spirit being a large car would have the short cables like a P body. Wierd. Looks like the original poster did some research already before he posted then, my apologies

    im in Windsor, I have the A555 trans and some shifter cables from a shadow

    the trans would great, only problem is that it does not downshift into 2nd gear. It has no problem going into 2nd from 1st tho...shifted real nice, I think possible bent shift fork or something??

    i even have the 89 short throw shifter from a daytona shelby if intersted

    ill take $150 for the trans and cables...im 5 minutes from the bridge!
