Has anyone repaired a Boxster shifter cable?

[nsosdian]

Does anyone have a set of junk Boxster shift cables I can experiment with? Broken / snapped cables would suit my purpose, I just need to try out some ideas on how to secure the brass end fitting at the transmission end.

I have never had the same problem but I did indeed find myself in a situation where I had to make my own extended cable for a different application. If your experience was anything like mine no-one seemed too interested in helping out, here is what I did on my own, the melting / shaping section could be useful, hoping it may help out:

Not sure if we have the same problem but my Boxster suddenly doesn't want to go into gear either. It was fine then I parked it for winter went to move it few weeks later and it won't go into gear. However if I fiddle with it and get it into 6th then I can work it through gears and then it will go into 1st or R. Seems like R is the hardest to get into. Been reading how a cable could be broken or shifted but why does mine work fine sometimes? Hopefully it's minor issue any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
