Have you seen for yourself what the problem is? I have replaced shifter cables before, but i'm not entirely sure what the differences are year over year. Does your car have the original transmission/shifter in it? If so, I don't see any reason why the cables wouldn't work.

About the tranny problem - did you ever try the extended slave rod? I know that this is a common issue with DSMs... the pivot ball gets worn down, arm gets bent, aftermarket clutches need more throw... etc. Or perhaps your master cyl needs replacing.
