What shifter to use?!

the cable comes in from the front side of the tranny though right? this is what i'm trying to avoid. because i have a B&M that comes from the front and i dont want to deal with heat issues from the headers..
I have a Hurst V-Matic II shifter in my Duster. It was easy to install and works great. The ratchet mode works great when you want to shift the gears yourself. You just push the stick forward and it upshifts one gear at a time.
