My car has been sitting undriven for about a week and a half...which is enough of a crime. Anyway, I head out to run some errands yesterday and the darn thing is Grind City. It won't go into gear. Georgia humidity I guess has caused the cable to go prematurely slack ;-)

This morning I set about installing the spare TerryCable I've had sitting in my trunk for the last 2 years. Pretty straight forward except I notice that the nuts at the trans end are not quite the same. One is too big and no way has it been locking down the other one...which looks like a lock nut. Obviously a short cut from the mech. that did my clutch last year. Doh!

So I start tightening and wrenching and tightening and the thread just bottoms out. The cable isn't loose by any means but it still wont go into gear.

Do I have one of those nifty 914 cables that's an extra 2 inches? Do I need to Dremel off some thread and add a stack of washers? Or is there something more insidious going in inside the tranny?
