hey Jafir thanks for the quick reply .... yes its the one that goes from the
console to the tranny and i have had a look at it where it does go in .. i
had the plate that holds the cable housing to the bell housing off and
looked and that cotter type pin is about half out and it spread the little
bracket that holds the pin... the tranny has never been out of the car since
i've owned it this whole deal was a shock to me because i,ve put about 50k
on the car since i bought it 2 years ago!!!! So are you sayin i can get at
it through the inspection cover??? is the torqe or the flex plate in the way
or are they no problem it sure would be nice if that was the case ....
because my shop is all tied up with my truck in the middle of a four link
setup and this this is gonna be a cold job outside here in the great white
north .......thanks again Ron
