<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Can anyone who has the original OEM transmission gearshift cable on their<BR>
Typhoon tell me if it is adjustable or not? A shop replaced the original<BR>
cable on my '92 Ty with an aftermarket one a couple of months ago and it<BR>
hasn't shifted correctly since, binding up like crazy until the new cable<BR>
broke. It looks to me like the new cable (Dorman 16662) doesn't fit<BR>
correctly even though it is listed for the application, it appears to be<BR>
about an inch short between the bracket and the arm on the transmission end.<BR>
There is no way to adjust the cable since it has eyelets on both ends and<BR>
neither the cable jacket collets or the brackets have any adjustment either.<BR>
The truck wouldn't go into park so the mechanic bent the bracket towards the<BR>
lever on the trans which helped it go into park but misaligned the cable so<BR>
badly that it was binding and finally broke the eyelet on one end of the new<BR>
cable. Since I didn't take out the original cable I don't know if it was<BR>
adjustable but I'd like to know if it was. No one other than Dorman makes<BR>
an aftermarket product for the application. I'd also like to know if anyone<BR>
else has used the Dorman cable, with or without success.</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
