SO to make a long story short, brought my 87 t to pep boys for an inspection and they broke my shifter cable, i did some research and saw that the correct length for the shifter cable is 29 inches (and some change) I ordered the shift cable from a reputable vendor and just measured it. This cable is only 26 1/4 inches. Is this the wrong cable or will it work? Supposedly its the original gm part but i kept reading that this length is wrong? Im supposed to drop my car off to be repaired today but i dont want to if i have the wrong part. Thanks
 
just need some clarification because the whole situation has me worked up. Dealing with pepboys was such a headache i just want to get my car fixed properly.
 
26 1/4" is the correct length
install should take very little time once console is removed
HTH!

according to kirbans the original gm cable was 26 something then they (gm) changed it to 29 something to fix a fit problem, everything i have read said the 29 something cable is the one to get.
