Thanks guys
I did think about making up a bracket or heat deflector thingy, and probably 
would do if we were limited to a standard length cable, but if we can get a 
longer version from this UK supplier, we should have about 1.5" minimum 
clearance around the exhaust. Probably worth using some reflective wrap, and 
may still make up some kind of shield too if necessary. Like the idea of the 
cut-down conduit Jimmy!

I used a bracket much like the one under the gas peddle to hold the trans 
cables "out-da way".  It's tack welded to the floor pan and my cables are 
wedged (lack of a better term) between the bracket and the floor. sorry no 
pictures.

Mine is the original length and it lays on the header collector. I insulated 
it and made a heat shield for it as well. The heat shield is a piece of 
aluminum conduit bent in the shape of the route that the cable takes. Kinda 
of a long, stretched out "U".or better yet, a long "L" shape.
I cut the top part of the conduit off the full length, making it a little 
more that half a thickness of pipe.. I stuff the cable into the conduit.
It can't be a tight fit, as it has to be removed to work on the cable or 
transmission. It does make the cable burn proof.
I can't say how many I burned up prior to making that heat shield.
Good luck
Jimmy
