Isn't it great to have all this knowledge just an email away.

Probably saved folks hundreds of thousands of dollars already for the DIY crowd.

You should be back online in no time and ready for your race weekend.

Thanks guys for your help. I will lift the car up tomorrow and see if that is the problem. If the cables are the problem I should be able to have the car ready for the track day!

Hey guys, jacked up the car today and fixed the problem. The linkage popped out of place and I had to put it back in. I did not use a zip tie because I didn't see anyway that it would help. If a zip tie would help how would I put it? The problem was the #12 linkage in the diagram. Thanks guys for the help

This diagram is for a 5-speed, 6-speed is different design.

I broke one of the LITTLE arm-lock pieces at NO. 12 on the cable so I ground up a replacement (since I lost the original ) with a angle grinder and file and crazy glued it in place and zip tied it to' boot.
