If you need a little more cable you can trim the cable housing, it's a little tricky but can be done. You cut off what you need to remove then split it length wise to get it off. Be careful not to Nick the cable inside, the metal Ferrell on some will slide off the housing and can be pushed down the cable then reused once the cable is housing is shortened. To test if this will work see if your cable end will come off the housing first, good luck,
