Steering Column P-N-D-2-1 cable support?

[cucvegas]

Does anyone know of a good way to support the cable that pulls the gear selector on the steering column / dash? The plastic piece that holds the wire broke off.

I tried JB weld to hold the plastic piece that broke off, and it wasn't strong enough.

Could you screw in a small bolt to let the cable run over the smooth shank?

Thanks!

Yes. I have done it many times. Get an 1/8" drill bit and drill a hole in the steel dash where the axis center should be on the cable guide. Get a T nut a 1/24 T nut from a hardware store and a sheet metal screw long enough to fit thru the T nut and attach to the steel dash. Grease the T nut and the cable. Adjust on the column shift sleeve and call it fixed. Good Luck. Be Safe.

Thank you!!!

Put a bolt in with a spacer over it as a roller to reduce friction. Also covered everything with grease. Works perfectly now! Thank you Cucvrus!!!
