Resurrecting an old thread. Has anyone else had this issue and solved it?

I have the exact same problem. I thought it was the short shifter that came with the car so I installed a brand new 987 shifter using the alignment tool. I had the exact same issue connecting the blue cable so I stretched it to fit (about 1/4 inch). It was a little better than before, but still stiff. Wondering if I should break out the dremel tool.
