Replying to: texasmoon (Sep 29, 2008 10:42 am) Here is how I was able to fix this: A: - Cut a piece of 1/4 in ID Vinyl tubing the length of the shift arm shaft plus 1/2 in. - Push tubing all the way on to the shaft (its sort of a tight fit). B: - Push cable end over tubing. - Mine fit fairly snug and would probably stay in place a long time but to be sure I ... - Heated end of tubing - Pushed/threaded in a 3/8 in set screw inside open end of tubing till it bottomed out at end of shaft. - Installed a tiny hose clamp to lock set screw inside tubing. I will be sure to keep an eye on this but the enlarged end of the tubing will keep the cable end on the shaft, hopefully for a long time. Thanks to Texasmoon for the base sketch.
#7 of 7 manual gearbox cable adjustment by dieseltank Jul 30, 2009 (11:57 pm)
Hello, Is it possible to adjust the gearbox shift cables of a manual gearbox? My gearlever can move about 2 cm before shifting, which is a little anoying. Saw no adjusment option under the gearlever cover; is it on the other end of the cables on the gearbox (noticed som complex plastic devices), or do they need to be renewed? Bert
