Hi I am trying to adjust the shifter cables on my 1999 boxster 5 speed. The only way to describe it is that it felt squishy when trying to put it in 3rd and 5th. This happened after driving like a clown and doing donuts in a parking lot so I think I knocked something loose. Took apart the center console and pulled on the black cable. Now it seems that the cable is too long when the transmission and shifter are in neutral. Any advice? I'm not sure what to do.
