This would allow the cables to be flat rather than one on top of each other. You can easily see the imprint of the engine cover on the top part of this insulation material. Can this insulation material be removed without causing more problems? The sleeve has a complex air pockets structure sooooo likely it’s there for a reason. I went through the fire walk to have a look.
I've previously replaced my shifter cables and I cant see how the outer rubber insulation could possibly interfere with the run of the inner cable. The inner cable is encased in a metal sheaf and then a semi rigid plastic outer covering.
