Lets hope it works. My 60E has the pan bolt mounted bracket so if all else fails I can probably go that route and fudge things a little to make it work. I should know more tomorrow when I somehow get the 80E wrestled up in there.

 

I do...that would be great...thanks!

 

Mine's a 98...but the 60E cable worked fine. Had to use the 80E bracket on the trans...totally different to eachother.

 

Here is the text from the procedure. The pictorials aren't that helpful but if you need them, I will try to pull them over. The actual adjustment starts at step 26.


15. Grasp the front half (cab end) of the transmission cable (1) in the left hand and the rear half (transmission end) of the transmission cable (2) in the right hand.




16. Align the outside diameter of cable (2) with the inside of the diameter of cable (1).




17. Push the end of the shift cable (2) inside the end of shift cable (1) until the blue spring on shift cable (2) is fully compressed. Pushing together the two ends of the shift cable will engage the inner wire and lock both cable wires together.




Important: This step must be performed correctly to avoid a misadjusted cable. Do not grasp the shift cable end (2) during this procedure.

18. Release the shift cable end (2) and allow the blue spring to tension/adjust the shift cable system.
19. Pull the white cover (3) on the shift cable end (1) back.




20. Push the natural colored lock button (2) down to engage the locking teeth on the shift cable end (1).




21. Release the white cover (1).




22. Verify the white cover (1) conceals the natural colored lock (2).
23. If the white cover (1) does not conceal the natural colored lock (2), perform steps 26 through 28.
24. Test the transmission for proper shift operation.
25. If all of the gear positions cannot be achieved, the shift cable must be readjusted. Perform steps 26 through 28.




26. Pull back the white plastic cover (1) on the center connector.




27. Pull up on the center tabs of the lock button (2).
28. Repeat steps 18 through 22. Important:

o Inspect shift lever pin for corrosion and replace if necessary.
o The shift cable is a two-piece shift cable.
o The front or rear half of the shift cable can be removed without removing the other half.
o Perform the installation procedure that applies to the installation of that half of the shift cable.

 

thanks bigkid

 

Mine is a 95 but is the same difference. At first the cable acted like it was too long until I loosened the cable bracket bolts and then things just fell into place. Adjusted the cable and everything seems to be ok.
