I posted this in my build thread but that thread dont get very many views these days so im posting it under its own thread to try to get some help.
ok now im pissed and i wont buy another empi product. I played with my shifter to much (life story) and it broke. i didnt even get to drive it with the new shifter yet. after shifting it into reverse a couple times the lockout button pops out of the shifter and hits me in the nuts. I took it apart and found whats in the pic below. theres a cable that comes out of the rod and goes into the handle. the button drags the cable across a crummy little roller thats attached by an even more ridiculous pin. the cable is attached to the button by the little thing that looks like a pellet. the pellet just gets smashed on the cable like a wire terminal. needless to say the pellet pulled off the cable. there was no form of lubrication throughout this entire system. its gonna take some serious rethinking and modifying before im comfortable with this thing again. any thoughts on how to make this stronger?
