intern8tion9l Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 any of you other 5spd people have this problem? was working just fine, then i pulled up to a spot to park, put it in reverse and it went forward instead. so now if i try to put it in 5th it goes into 3rd, and if i try to reverse it goes into 4th. i think it must have something to do with the right hand cable, but i just don't know what....it does seem kind of loose in there though Quote
patgizz Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 i'd bet you're right, sounds like a cable issue and not an internal issue. Quote

digitaloutsider Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 I'll bet money it's the cables. My Cutlass' cables are starting to get bad too. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 definately sounds like the crossover cable to me (cable for side-to-side movement) Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 Yeah, the cables are expensive too. But better than replacing a trans. FWIW: Only 1 of the 284 cables are still available. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Posted March 15, 2006 yeah i was just under the car and i can feel where the cable is frayed. nice and tucked away under friggin everything....super Quote

I know this is a long shot but... would a shifter cable from a calais work? I mean both the cutty and calais came with 5spd's both had quad 4's? I only ask this because I was trying to find a listing at work, but found the calais with a 5spd trans. Theres two different size cables. Just a question I had to ask. Quote
Bake82 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 yeah i was just under the car and i can feel where the cable is frayed. nice and tucked away under friggin everything....super I can get you cables but they're $$.....from a GP with 60 k on it.... 55 cdn a piece..let me know and I can make a call if you like.
