Thanks for the video! The cable with the steel wire around the casing is similar (or the same) as the OEM unit. Routing near the exhaust is probably what necessitated this construction. The end with the seal does go on the steering column side.
The kink usually happens because of a problem within the steering column. The lever on the column refuses to go upward when trying to shift into reverse, then the kink happens. This usually happens when the steering column has been removed and serviced / rebuilt by some one unfamiliar with steering columns. The steering shaft and the shift tube are collapsable for safety reasons. The column can be patially collapsed when setting it down hard on the steering shaft. Rebuilding the column can also collapse the shift tube when re-inserting it into the shift bowl, by hammering on the lower end of the shift tube. Before replacing the cable, the column issue should be corrected, otherwise you will replace another cable. Seen this a few times.
Great video, thanks for sharing!

I saw that in another video, after the fact. I thought my way made sense.

One more step closer to getting the lift queen status removed and road worthy added, can't wait to see the Ridetech completed also.....
Great video! Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing this baby out on the road!
Very helpful
Nice job; thanks for the video!
