Shifter Cable Mount

[Briann1177]

The plastic links sound like something that originally came from the donor. Whatever they are, I probably don't have.

[Briann1177]

Yeah, I definitely don't have those.

 

[Briann1177]

To all the 5-speed builders still in the early process, make sure you save the black rectangular pieces that hook up to the pushrods in Lonny's picture from above. If you have shifter hardware already that includes a ~6 mm heim joint, you're good to go.

I can't find them online so if you tossed them like me, it might be a junk yard run. Something to think about.

Anyone have a picture of the routing under the car and around the rear of the subframe for the cables?

 

[IDRVSLO]

This doesn't seem right.

 

[Briann1177]

That's pretty much how I have mine routed. Not sure if it's right, but I have no problems.

 

[Lethalcast]

Your gonna have to cut some threads off the driver side to be able to get it adjusted correctly.

[Lethalcast]

I routed mine a little different with one over and one behind the toe link

 

[Christopher Sanchez]

This doesn't seem right.

I am also at this point in my build, trying to figure out these shift cables but I am distracted by how clean your engine bay/build is!! Holy moly

Yeah, it does look great! However, it doesn't last long no matter how hard you try. It's truly disheartening!

<<<<< Only drives in dry weather

But I am sure the shine will fade!

How do you disconnect the stock transmission cables from the manual transmission? The ALLDATA manual, step 6, isn't very descriptive. Is there a secret way to push or pull or press a tab, or is it a brute force thing?

Brute force. Pull straight up. Don't feel bad, it got me at first also.

 

[Ross]

Thanks Chad. I'll give that a try tomorrow.

 

[Briann1177]

What Chad said. Slide a screwdriver between the shifter and connector and pry up. Should pop right off.

 

[Ross]

I tried with a big screwdriver, then I added a claw hammer. Brute force won. Thanks for the help!

When I bought my short throw shifter I got the linkages too. I think it was 60$ for both. I got them from ottp. I heard the oem ones break or the white plastic piece falls apart. I forget where I read it Haha. It looks like they will be harder to adjust though View attachment 4723

Do you have a picture of the linkage installed?

The linkages won't work with the adjustment rods that DF sent because the linkages are for a larger diameter. I need to actually update that on my thread so people don't order those.
