1990 TSi AWD.... I swapped a '91 transmission in it, I went to the salvage yard and picked up a shifter assembly out of a 91+ non-turbo, I also picked up shift cables out of a '91+ non-turbo, I'm having big problems with the shift cables lining up on the trans. I can't twist the cable to get it to match the shift arms on the trans it looks kinda like this
(cable end) \ ----(Arm) also I've read that '91 plus shift lines don't have adjustments on both lines...my cables do. The lines are already bent in the position they've been for 15 yrs from the prior car from the junk yard, so when I twist the whole shift cable it just flips over back to where it was. What can I do to get these lines to match up with the shifter arms? Can '90 lines be used when using a '91 shift assembly and trans? Cause i'll just reinstall my old cables. Any advice? thanks in advance
