update...broke another speed cable today
.
After talking to Doug, Fred and others I thought I had everything right. Cable turned freely, reverser seem to turn with ease...the guage itself was a little tight but I thought that would loosen up being new and all. NOPE...it locked up(at least I can't even turn with my fingers...i could before but with some effort.) It jumped around for a about 3 seconds (like it did when I first drove it) and then complete crapped out.
Bob..at a minimum I need another cable but unless there is a way to get this guage flowing freely, I think that is where the problem is.
..fun, fun, fun....
