Transmission Cable Problems Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Engine Repair Forum Discription: Engine problems and solutions URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1350 Printed Date: November-22-2024 at 3:49pm Topic: Transmission Cable Problems Posted By: Superk Subject: Transmission Cable Problems Date Posted: March-18-2005 at 10:43pm My '99 Sport Nautique has become difficult to push the control lever from neutral into either forward or reverse. I believe this is simply a bad transmission cable. I also hear this is fairly easy to replace by simply attaching a new cable to the old one and using the old one to pull the new one into place. Is this correct? Does anybody know what length of teleflex cable I need to buy (16-19ft)? Are there any other parts I will need? thanks, Kent Replies: Posted By: nms1991 Date Posted: March-20-2005 at 5:43pm The right length is 17 ft cable but before you replace the cable diconnect it from the trans first and try shifting the controls and the shift lever on the trans. Posted By: Tim D Date Posted: March-21-2005 at 7:19pm If a cable has been bent too sharp it will have a lot of resistance. I used duct tape to connect the old and new together and pulled it under the floor to the engine bay. ------------- Tim D Posted By: Siveck Date Posted: March-22-2005 at 9:29pm Try some lubricant such as WD40 or something better. The knob that engages my transmission would barely move with alot of force until I sprayed some lube on it. It works very well with little resistance now. Maybe the same will apply if the lube is sprayed into the end of the cable.

Posted By: nates78ski Date Posted: April-01-2005 at 8:25pm As for the correct length look at the cable casing 12"-16" from the end. The length should be stamped there ------------- Nathan http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1463&sort=&pagenum=3&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - My '78 Ski Nautique <a href="http://photobucket.com/Nates78ski" rel="nofoll
