Title: Shifter cable.
Post by: GTXVette on March 09, 2018, 08:50:14 am

With little knowledge of how they work I Put the Shifter in reverse in a Nose Downhill Position, not to Bad if the clutch works.  Mine seems to be bleeding down. so in Jamin and Craming trying for "N" I put a Kink in the metal part that is attached to the Shifter and broke the Plastic sleeve at the base where the cable is mounted to the holder.I've bent the metal back to shape but is there a Stronger Cable to Use Because I feel it needs to be replaced now.

If the clutch is bleeding down, it will cause it to hold tighter and not release when the pedal is depressed. 

What transmission do you have, and which cable is it?  Is it the small cable closest to the driver or the larger one to the right?

Isuzu I think, Both Cables over the Top. the cable is the one for forward and back Movement not the side to side. I read about A Trans Swap and they used a Boat Steering or Throttle Cable. I would think Not Cheap, but Marine service stuff is well made.
 Anyone have one cheep.

I have an aftermarket shift cable.  It's the one that is to the right as you view the trans from behind the car.  It's really big and heavy gauge. 

I haven't been able to physically help with your car but maybe I can help materially.  It's yours for free.

First Thanks,
 Looking forward from the Rear,the cable that is more centered  the one for side to side is is closser to the driver.
 I will walk out in a bit to look for sure.

I looked at your pictures in the early part of the grassroots thread and I have the correct one you need.
