Do the early ones use the 90* angle drive at the tranny? Mine did the same -
turned out it was not the cable but the drive. It finally "left" the car -
going down the road.... clunk clunk clunk... peek in RV mirror - parts
scattering across the road.... stil need to get that fixed.
Easy cable test: disconnect at tranny side - stuff it into a drill... SPIN !
(carefullly - slowly !) (May wanna do this *after* you try to spin by hand &
seems ok).
