Brian,

Where did you find the length listed? There are several different parts numbers for the cable depending on jeep model as well as two different numbers for the early bell housing on the M38 vs the Late bellhousing.

Hi Wes,
Sorry for the late reply.

I measured the one hanging on the wall.

It was on the jeep when I bought it. I have a late bell housing.

With everything else I’ve found I would be surprised if it was correct.
