I cant shift into 1st or 2nd from inside the car, but I can right on the tranny.

I have a 90 transmission, 90 cables, 90 shifter base, and 90 cable holder bracket (or whatever its called), all in my 93 Talon AWD.

At first I thought it was the shifter cables were bent, so I bought some other 90 shifter cables with the base and bracket, but the cable is still about 1.5 cm too long.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this??

I think you might have answerd your own question. The cables arent working. Try some from a different year. Also theres ways to adjust these I have read just search around alttle bit.

yeah, I was going to try some other years, I thought that there are only 2 different types of 1g shiter cables though the 90, and the 91-94. Is this right???

Also, Ive already adjusted them, to be as short as possible:(
