Auto Trans. Cable Needed 83-86
This is for an 18 year old S-4 owner who does all of his own work on the car. He is struggling to get the car back on the road after a transmission failure. Any help would be appreciated. He is willing to buy it, I'm not asking for charity.
EDIT: The part needed is a pressure cable from an 85 or 86 auto. This is the only part that will work.

I believe the problem has been a series of unrealistically short deadlines combined with some confusion as to what model year part is needed.

He is 18, living on his own after a big mix up with his dad, guessing no credit card so payment is complicated, and even back then he always needed the part in 3 days or by the weekend etc, which means nobody that isn't kind of local could do it without overnighting etc.
Pretty sure I have that cable from my 84 Euro, $25 and shipping, but I would like some way to be sure its what he needs and that its in good shape. |

He was 17 when he got the car and posted to rennlist. He turns 19 in early June. 928 Intl and 928 motorsports do not have this part right now.
Danglerb, I will see if I can get some clarification for you. Thanks EDIT: I just got some more info. Its the kick down cable. I believe its on the passenger side of the trans. and it sort of sticks straight up. It has a black plastic piece on the end that plugs into the trans. Sorry for the vague details, I have never worked on an automatic 928. Mine are 5 speeds.

Yes Rogue, you are right. i just checked 928Intl. and it does have to be an 85 or 86 pressure cable. This is getting frustrating. The car is now at the house of a firefighter who won't be home until Fri. to take any pics. A pressure cable for an 85-86 is what he needs. Anyone?
SorryDanglerb, I guess yours ( 84 ) won't work. Thanks for your generous offer.

I don't know. As I said, I have never worked on an automatic 928. It sounds like a valid point. I will bring this up.
Right now we are hoping to be able to reuse the S-4 cable but change the end that goes into the trans. Do you have any idea if this is feasable?

Yes, your right. He doesn't post much and I don't want to bother him outside of the interwebs.

Call steve, buy him a drink later. He is a transmission professional, people call him on the phone all time asking about lame Toyota's, a Porsche question I am sure is a great pleasure.
