i was just on B&M's website and noticed that the shortest cable they sell is 2 foot long. Could I use that cable and route it the way the stock cable is?

I know people have complained about the B&M cable, but I havent had any problem with mine...yet. I would guess you could use the shorter cable..but thatis only a guess

The only problem I found with the cable the came with my B&M shifter is that it's way too long and I had to put a big loop in it under my car so it didn't drag on the ground.

Of course you can. Some of the guys here have used the stock cable with there megashifters....I think the most important thing , just be sure the cable is not pinched or in a bind so the shifter can work as smooth as possible.
