Currently for 523/568
working on the other cable shifters
I believe it'll work it with the PT/Neon stuff also
After seeing a few people destroy their Booger Bushings
and worse
Blow out the plastic end of the cable entirely
I came up with this fix
I will say this from the get-go
It does take a little work and some basic tools to make it all work
But makes all the difference in the long run
I'll be offering it in 2 forms
Repair Kit : 1 modified Heim Joint
1 jamb nut
1 e-clip
Instructions
Repair kit is to be used to fix the problematic front/back cable on the inside that explodes into little pieces
It can be fixed while in the car (removal of pass. seat and console makes life easier) but can be done
The Full kit: 4 Modified Heim Joints
Coupler
5 jamb nuts
5 E-clips (your bound to lose at least one)
Instructions
I'm working on the full write-up so everyone can see what's involved before buying
Does require cutting 1/4" steel, a 1/4-28 (fine) die, and a little grinding
Nothing a dremel tool can't do
Cost is looking like $50 shipped full kit , $15 Repair Kit
Should be ready to ship soon
Just waiting on final testing (Fix kit was good to go and bench testing was a go)
Please let me know if your interested , maybe I can squeeze a little more out if there's enough interest
