Broke Shift Cable...I think???
Ok, I had no clue how to describe this so I took a picture. This is my shifter cables on my G16.
I can get it to go in reverse fine but when going into drive it seems the cable is stuck. I got to looking at it and noticed the two parts I pointed at with the red arrows aren't working the same way as the parts I pointed at with the blue arrows. the parts with the blue arrows stay locked together and the parts with the red arrows don't. Do I have to buy a new cable? Or can I just fix the cable? I can't tell how they are supposed to stay together, I figured maybe they are broke. Any advise would be much appreciated! |

Re: Broke Shift Cable...I think???
And if I need a new cable where's the least expensive place to order?

Re: Broke Shift Cable...I think???
the cables may just be sticky and stretched some
causing the one not to retract. |

Re: Broke Shift Cable...I think???
This is good news in that it sounds like I won't have to buy anything. It is certainly cold! I think it was 6 degrees when it stopped working.

All you need is a little adjustment and a few drops of wd40. If one is broken, you can hardly move the shifter either way.

I personally would use WD40 for a cable, WD40 gums up over time, They make special lubes for cables or use slick50 lube.

WD40 is a water disbursement product not a lubricant.

Re: Broke Shift Cable...I think???
I was going to use some PB Blaster, but haven't yet. It's been freakin cold outside! I did manually move the bracket at the transmission and I could get it to move. I'm thinking it's a frozen water problem now. When it gets above freezing and if it doesn't work still I'll lube it with something.
