I have a 2001 Glastron SX 175 with a 3.0L Volvo GSM-A engine, and a Volvo SX-M outdrive. My shift cable has been difficult to move for awhile...I am replacing the controller, and would like to replace the cables while I am at it.
Removing the cable from the conroller is easy. At the drive end, I see that the shift cable goes through a hose in the engine compartment, and then out into the outdrive. I removed the one nut where it attaches to the shift mechanism in the outdrive. Does anyone know if that is the only thing to detach before the cable comes out? I don't see anything else holding it in place, but it doesn't want to move with some light pulling. I wanted to check with you smart folks before I pull harder on it. If there isn't anything else holding it in place, does it matter which end I pull on to remove it?
I have the manual...it talks about adjusting the cable, but doesn't describe how to remove it.
Thanks for any information!
