[Syty] Shift Cable

[Peter Guerlain]

Can anyone who has the original OEM transmission gearshift cable on their
Typhoon tell me if it is adjustable or not?  A shop replaced the original
cable on my '92 Ty with an aftermarket one a couple of months ago and it
hasn't shifted correctly since, binding up like crazy until the new cable
broke.  It looks to me like the new cable (Dorman 16662) doesn't fit
correctly even though it is listed for the application, it appears to be
about an inch short between the bracket and the arm on the transmission end.
There is no way to adjust the cable since it has eyelets on both ends and
neither the cable jacket collets or the brackets have any adjustment either.
The truck wouldn't go into park so the mechanic bent the bracket towards the
lever on the trans which helped it go into park but misaligned the cable so
badly that it was binding and finally broke the eyelet on one end of the new
cable.  Since I didn't take out the original cable I don't know if it was
adjustable but I'd like to know if it was.  No one other than Dorman makes
an aftermarket product for the application.  I'd also like to know if anyone
else has used the Dorman cable, with or without success.

Thank you,
