Ok hi everyone Im kinda new to this site and to my dsm, just recently bought a 97 talon tsi with 190,000kms for 1200$, cars in fairly good shape some rust underneath it that scares me a little.
Anyways onto the point of my thread, the guy I bought the car off said the car hasnt gone into 1st gear about a couple days before he put it away for the winter, The car wont go into first when its turned off, you cant hear it engage like it does in every other gear. Ive taken the center console apart and it seems the bushings for the shift cable aswell selector cable are in good shape, I tried disconnecting the shift cable from the shifter and pull the cable to get it into gear but I can only get it into 3rd(hence the reason for the selector cable) I heard alot of people using zipties to fix this but im not sure what your wanting me to ziptie to, from shift cable to selector cable? or shift cable to the knob(if bushings were gone)? Anyways heres a pic of the cables aswell as my new baby.
