Re: shift cable dissasembly
My problem is that I don't see any way to remove the plastic end guide. Book says remove two set screws. Don't see set screws on mine, just round metal caps.
there's a pic in s/m #8. on pp 2A2. this looks like the pic you need to me.
it looks similar to my drive as far as the end guide goes. the end guide has a nyloc nut on the end of it. this is the plastic piece i think your referring to. the set screws should be right behind this hole in the end guide that mounts to the stud. they're square post drive set screws on mine. you loosen them (2 ea., one on ea. side 180* from ea. other) and you can slide the end guide off after you remove the nyloc nut that the cable mounts too. i've never seen one, but thats the way i see it with putting what i know about my drive and looking at the s/m for your rig..
yes, you can reuse the cable as long as nothing is wrong with it. mine's a year old and i just reused it after a bellhousing disassembly going for the water hose..
that's my speculation... w/o never seein one..
oh, if it's like mine, after you release the cable from the end guide via the set screws. when you slide the cable out of the end guide, you'll drop the small piece that the set screws mount into. is just a small round piece of steel stock, set screw, screw threads in both ends, and a hole in the middle for the cable to travel though. w/o the cable in place, the round stock will just fall out of the end guide. don't loose it it the bilge..
