shift cables.

***Zeuceone*** · 01-19-2007, 02:54 AM

is there a away to make them tighter..?

MADDOGSI · 01-19-2007, 03:07 AM

not sure what you mean. explain a bit

DumbasSi · 01-19-2007, 04:46 AM

The cable bushing set from Corsport or SpeedSource will take out alot of the play associated with the stock rubber bushings that the cables use. I was told the cables are non-adjustable.

well i cant engage my reverse gear so i now have no reverse and i think its because when i was installing my shifter cable bushings i broke the pice that holds the wire to that one clamp.

Oh, thats not cool.
Did you try putting the original parts back on?
I have not yet done the short shifter/bushings swap, so I am not exactly sure what can be done. Sorry

SO you broke the u-clip the holds the cable in place. You will just have to get a new clip from Honda.

***Zeuceone*** · 01-19-2007, 05:48 PM

not the u clip but the plastic part thats with the u clip.

Here is a link. which part. I dont recall any plastic pieces.

MADDOGSI · 01-19-2007, 06:00 PM

and here is the part the the cables go to.http://www.thehondapartsstore.com/he...ll&vinsrch=yes

***Zeuceone*** · 01-19-2007, 06:15 PM

the part in the middle f #7 and m6. inside that little boot theres a plastic pice that attaches to the u clip part. now i looked at it and that is the problem .

MADDOGSI · 01-19-2007, 11:23 PM

ok so it is the plastic cable end itself that the u clip slides over to secure it to the cable stay bracket on the trans.If so. thats a complete cable replacement. Ouch!

***Zeuceone*** · 01-20-2007, 02:48 AM

exactly but for now i will try to concoction somekind of something to fix it.

MADDOGSI · 01-20-2007, 02:37 PM

^^ try and go to a parts store and get 2 large plastic zip ties.put one over the other in a x cross pattern and tie the cable to the stay bracket.Might be enough to get you by.

MellowGato · 01-20-2007, 04:24 PM

Zeuceone,
can you please explain what happened that caused that part to break?
The reason I ask, is because I want to do the SS and bushings mod, but now I am afraid of breaking my car...
Thanks

JeShUa · 01-20-2007, 04:33 PM

meh.. I say take it to honda and get the original part.. dont let it get out of hand and cause further problems

***Zeuceone*** · 01-21-2007, 12:02 AM

i bought some pipe to make the cable straight again but it only helps for so long. when i was installing the cable bushings i pull the wire piece to high and it snapped. all i needed to do wash use a screwdriver to remove the old cable bushing.
