88 thunderbird overheating problems

A friend at my work has a 88 thunderbird 5.0 with over 200000miles. He needed a shifter cable for the in floor shifter. Which he claim could not find it any in the usa. Because they discontinued the cable. So he had someone rig a shifter cable to work. But now the car doesnt go into overdrive and it overheats.because it doesnt shift to overdrive. Any help out there on finding the original part or maybe a fix on this issue.
