Cable shifter issue, please help!

Thats clearly the best long term plan, if I buy a new shifter that will be the requirement. I don't think I could make that work with the old Megashifter I have in the car.
I was only able to make this work for my shifter, because of the addition of the shiftnoid air shifter bracket. I did not plan on the rear exit cable. I just realized afterwards that I potentially could make that modification. I have burned up 2 previous front exit cables.
If I had to buy a new shifter all over again, I would buy the turbo action shifter that is rear exit on a torque flite and is a very nice shifter to boot.
