in my case the end of the cable was plastic, so adding the part ruin the thread.
it is almost impossible to adjust after installed.
i'm replacing my transmission cables this week, putting back the plastic part that was perfectly good when removed. ill replace it in 10 years if needed.
that was one of the most stupid things i did on my car, "while i was in there" doing the short shiftier.
homeboy, do you have it installed in your car?

@Meir - sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Mine is FINE! Here's why….I originally tightened the linkage to the plastic, as you stated, however, after looking closer at it - and having the same concerns you expressed…I tried something else. Perhaps I neglected to mention it but…

1). If you place the linkage OVER the plastic and use the allen bolts to "lock down" on the cable - THERE IS NO WAY IT CAN MOVE. I took it a step further and added BLUE LOCTITE to the Allen bolts BEFORE I installed it. Thought I was just being prudent. Apparently that was the difference between success for me and failure on your end. But PM me and I can give some other "tricks" to get you shifting again.

I LOVE the shifting in my car. Will re-check that piece - just to be certain, again. Have checked it twice (when I was re-doing console) and it was STILL SOLIDLY IN PLACE AND SECURE AS IF IT WERE FROM THE FACTORY - WITHOUT ANY SLOP!

Good luck!
