What's this cable that goes from shifter to steering column? I pulled the column to take the brake/clutch pedal assy out and I don't see where it hooks up (seen small pic. in Chiltons book). I'm guessing it's so you can't start car in gear. Is there something else I need?

Also I have T-5 rad. w/no hook-ups for trans cooler. Will an external cooler be sufficient? Should I try to find stock cooler lines and just connect them to external cooler or bend my own? I'm going to buy an aftermarket alum. rad. eventually, should I get the auto. one? Or should I do it right away and just forget about the external one (can always be added in future)?
