Volvo 280 Shift Cable - Teleflex Supreme or TFXtreme?

[NorCal_Skipjack20]

The shift cable on my 84 Skipjack 20 with Volvo 280 outdrive has frozen up and needs replacing. I can still get one of the discontinued Teleflex Supreme (Red) cables or the new TFXtreme cables but thought I had seen a post here on Iboats (by Don S.?) saying the TFXtreme cables were slightly thicker in diameter. I want to be sure there won't be a problem getting the cable to slide through the waterproof tube at the outdrive.

I put one on mine 3 years ago and it still shifts like butter. It was black but didn't seem any larger in diameter.
