TWG:
Hold the phone! Before you jack up the car, just roll it in the driveway
(or take it for a short spin around the block). If the inner cable rotates
then it is less likely to be a problem at the tranny, angle drive or in the
cable itself. (Unless you've already done this and I missed that). OTOH,
it still could be the cable: if it sheared it may have caught up in the
wrapping on the cable's housing. Think positive; start with the cheep
and/or easy parts first.
