Thanks....looking under the vehicle it doesn't appear as though its out of place, I bent the bracket holding the cable slightly to move it away from the heat exchanger...hopefully this helps. It was shifting fine. I only noticed it after I removed the manifold and cat assembly....it cracked at the weld on the back side just before the down stream O2 sensor. I believe this was a contributing factor to the car stalling and idling bad at times. It finally just cracked all the way around it.

Yep shifter linkage. The black stuff was supposed to protect the linkage from the heat exchanger. It's nasty stuff very sticky when it gets hot and melts off. When I rebuilt my motor I tried to find a way to redirect the linkage but came up nada. It's not doing any harm to the heat exchanger. Poor engineering on Mini's part.
