WANTED emergency! Shift Cable - may be solved....
I've been around the forum a little bit and seen the talk of getting different cables made and i keep reading about the differences in the cables but i loose track of which is which in all the discussions d see nothing current of a reliable source to get them now. 
My Current Dilemma!:
My 1992 GT 3400swap/5spd broke the Shift cable (yes the forwards backwards movement) off at the end of the cable where it meets the 6in rod, on the transmission side if your curious. I am in luck that i know exactly how to get it out of the car and such as that was the original issue when i acquired the stock (road hard put away wet) car. I got lucky then and found a nice junkyard in Idaho that went out and got the cables off a car they had and sent them to me.
My Emergency: I'm in luck that it's the holidays because that means i'm home from school for now, but it's also bad due to business closures and delayed shipping. I have school starting back up after the new years weekend and that's a 200 mile drive back to the town were school is... i don't exactly want to borrow my family's spare truck for it as the gas would kill me and as my dad put it, we are not gonna let a broken shift cable keep this car down after all the time i've made him help me keep it running, relatively nice, and swap an engine into without 100% research (a Fun and stupid mistake on my part making a weekend swap 1.5 months of nights and weekends)
The Short of the Long!!: Need Shift Cable for 1992 Beretta GT originally a 3.1mpfi/5spd ASAP
