Might want to think again how the shifter cables work if you think being in gear won't move that one. If that is the case, then why is it there?

I have never had my cables stretch or heard of it being a common problem. The routing of the cables will obviously change their length, make sure it is routed correctly. Also the bracket on top of the tranny can be mounted backwards, but I think it would throw both of them off. The metal part of the bracket should be towards the firewall and angles forward, the front side is open.
