You replaced that bushing you lost? I take it you ran the cable through the bellhousing properly?

yes adam the bushing washer and 2 nuts i now have and they are on the car.

should the cable be run from inside the car or fed into the car?

ive fed mine into the car because the other end is too big to even fit through the hole with out enlarging it

Could that be the problem?

it seems if i pin the cable on an external part to pull the plastic tight it seems it works but damages the sheathing.

so some help is really needed.
