Just a Google search pops up a few.
Mendeola has a cable set up
Here is a less expensive version.

Pretty much all the cable shifters are in the 600 to 800 range.
Tis the reason I went with rod linkage on my mid engine. _________________

Not hard to fabricate a cable shifter solution.

No I am not building a midengine just like the idea of cable linkage
not a fan of the "rod" style |

Much less to go wrong/align with the OE rod setup. A cable shifter likely won't fit in a traditional rear engine buggy. |

I have had a Brandwood cable shifter in my midengine notch for over 20 years. They can be fiddly to set up and shifting is vague, but it works. Mine uses a spring at the linkage on the nose cone to adjust reverse lock out tension and one cable travels the tunnel direction for F/B and the other comes to the nose cone at 90* for L/R of the shift pattern. _________________ 64 No'back Speedster "Pearl"
