Custom Shift Cable

I'm no engineer but it looks fine and functional to me

 

Same, looks like it will work well and was cheap and easy to make.

 

Go to your room young man.

 

No

 

Then go to his room.

 

I would want some triangulation on that bracket for sure

 

Since that is a no go, Who does make a shift cable kit that isn't fully custom. I can't seem to find anything right now as Rey FB page is not available.

 

First time I'm hearing of https://www.xspeedfab.us/ who's running it? Similar world (trans related) Is that slave lot the Lexus slave?

 

Andrew Brown runs it

 

Non-Toxic huh...Lol

 

This again? Thanks but no thanks see quotes below, unless his rep has changed. I know sleeping6 has seen this as Andrew had already been discussed in this thread, sadly it seems like he's currently the only option for a non do it yourself kit.
Edit: hopefully Michael Ray resurfaces again, sadly Facebook is toxic towards people doing a hobby.

 

Yeah I saw his name being discussed. Shame he is the only dude around at the moment.

 

hey man, I’m sure you’ve posted it, but what exactly did you order cable wise? Was it a custom order? I’m looking at the site and don’t see exactly that size cable,.

 

For anyone running across this post (sorry for the reviving of the necro thread) Midwest has a 6 month lead time. I asked them recently as my OEM cables broke. Another option is contacting Michael Rey on Facebook in the mazdaspeed6 owners group. Pricey but sexy cables. $550 a set.

Hey Trithemius,

I just wanted to verify something. Not sure if you'll come across this. I cant PM you yet. Is the cable at the center of the shifter the one that connects to the fore/aft arm with the counterweight at the transmission? I replaced my cables with OEM ones this weekend and want to make sure i put them back in the right place. If anyone can confirm (and it may seem like a dumb question to some) I'd really appreciate it!

 

At the shifter -> At the trans
Side to side -> up and down

You can probably figure out the rest from there.

 

So the cable on the side of the shifter with the adjuster clip is the one that controls up and down? I'm so confused.

I think what you're saying is basically the cables do not cross over. Right goes to right on trans and left to left connection on trans when looking straight ahead from drivers seat. Did I get that correct? Thanks for replying Enki. Havent been active here in a long time.

 

Actually I posted exactly what I meant to say...Actually not real sure how to simplify that further.
Just take it at face value; there aren't any puzzles there.

 

You've been here a long time so I can understand your annoyance to my persistence for an answer to my previous questions. I'm grateful for the response and will further study your diagram until I understand. Seriously though, thank you.
