We can talk about the cable ends on the shifter end. On the Fiero they use a hair pin. I made a bolt in conversion pin. This is the same on the shifter arm and the select lever on the shifter. Grind the backside. Hammer out the old pin. Bolt in the new pin. Possibly this is the way I would make thes...

So if everyone that helps out here can tell me:

Shift or select cable
Sheath length
Compressed length
Extended length.

Thanks

Extended lengths.

The top one is about 165 mm. The bottom one is about 128 mm.

I also need compressed and extended lengths.

Compressed. The top one is about 103 mm. Measured to the center of the hole. The bottom one is about 75 mm to the center of the hole.

This is how to measure the length of the sheath. I need this measurement from as many of you as possible. Both shift and select.

For convenience I made them both 1000 mm. That is not the actual length of the cables I have on hand.

Thanks
Rodney

Rodney, There is a small aluminum bracket which bolts to the transmission that holds the cables in place. Here are some pictures of one on the transmission and off the transmission. I could easily send one to you if you'd like for the reproduction. If you have a shift or select (or both) cable on h...

I dug up the old shift cables I still had, http://www.berettaspeed.com/weba/beretta/etc/shiftcables-2.JPG What I need to see are the brackets on the transmission these cables attached to that have the deep wide V. The Getrag in the Fiero's used both style cable ends on the transmission but they bot...

What I would like to see is how these attach to the shifter and trans bracket. No the ends of the cable. Where the clips go to hold them to the bracket and shifter assemble. Specifically the ones with the bigger V groove in them.

Thanks
Rodney

If all the trans arms have the square hole I would have them made with the ball socket ends. These are also threaded on so that may help if we find different length cables. http://rodneydickman.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=57&products_id=37 I have to take some pictures showing how to measu...

I think you are probably right on the levers on the transmissions. They probably all have a square holes. Both shift and select.

I have a part for that:

The one with the pin.

If I make these I'll be looking for some shift arms on the trans so I can design the replacement pins for the trans arm/lever.

I worked on this a little yesterday. I started on the design of the replacement pins for the shifter and trans arms. I have a run going in my lathe but that should be done in a few days. Once done I'll machine a few of these pins. I'll take some pictures of a cable showing how to measure it and we'l...

I can have a smaller amount made. Price would be higher. Probably like $110-$120ish each. But they would be top shelf. I think I'm going to maybe make up a web page showing how to measure them. Once enough submit these measurements I'll look at this again. Possibly I would have them made with thread...

I've been asked thru the years to make shift cables for the FWD GM cars like the Beretta. It has been a while but again someone asks that I make them. I have to have 300 of each made per batch. Would I ever sell 300 pair?? The one problem that is not hard to overcome is how the cable ends attach to ...
