"So, back at it...Anyone know of any info on replacing the cable? Or perhaps tips when doing it on setting it up right? Seems real tight under there to be routing wires around and whatnot." It's a real PITA. Had to do it twice on my '84. First when the original cable kinked behind the front panel. I was pulling the heater box at the time to rebuild it anyway, but then the replacement cable kinked, too, same spot. The third one's working just fine, but my son and I have the scars on our hands from all the sharp bits inside that cramped area to show for it. -- Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott 1984 Westfalia, auto trans, Bend, Ore.
