when they are to long does it still work? I cannot find a 21 inch cable for the life of me and the longer cable is all over the place almost a foot longer and does not mount up to my plate correctly. I need my truck to run and the piece of bailing wire i used just doesnt cut it when the whole engine is rebuilt and the vehicle runs and drives great I cannot let myself go another day running it like that worrying that at any moment it is going to give out. please help!!

got it
i actually got lucky and reused the cable housing and had a friend that works at a bicycle chop re run the cable with an adjustable stop so i could figure out exactly the length that i needed. turns out it was only 6 dollars worth of shifting cable and the nut to get the ting running again.
