Again, I must retract my statement.... my part number is incorrect.... sorry.... see if you can identify....

I totally agree with this... I've been in the trade over 30 years... I am paid to solve problems... I would never send a customer out to bring me parts ... Accept if it was my wife's car or then I might say "honey? Could you please run out and pick up the parts? I love you... " but that's a whole different story
Take it somewhere else

The problem is that it may have been updated by a dealer to the newer style cable. There was a problem with the older style cables fraying, much like the original throttle cables 94-97... they'd fray/unravel a little, then stick in the liner and not move very easily, resulting in stuck cables. ON the throttle cable, it was a common problem, especially on automatic trucks, that took a little more pressure to move the throttle linkage as well as the kickdown cable..... I'd suggest posting a photo of it. It either looks like the picture I posted with the white lever, or it has a black push-button release like the one above listed on Fleabay. Get me a pic, and we can find you one. If it's like the later style, I may have one off a '98. There are also aftermarket parts available, such as:

Realize, these transmission casing and valve bodies are very similar to the gas engine sisters.... from about 1972 to 1998.... They work identically. And not to be a jerk about it, but I've been working on these dodges for over 20 years, and can easily find something to retrofit or repair existing problems like this. I sometimes do it everyday for weeks on end. I can understand a guy being defensive about his work; I know I am. I'm proud of what I have done, usually...... but if he can't find a simple solution to your problem, I question his ability to repair your transmission. It's HIS JOB to find you parts and make the repair, and now he's got you chasing parts for him? That's not how it supposed to work.... Just my opinion.... I've got plenty. They're free. Probably only worth that much.....

I was at the transmission place yesterday, saw the cable and it's installation, it looks correct according to the info and pic I received from this group. No adjustment left. So, how do I get a cable? Need one fairly quick as I would like to start using my track as opposed to driving the '88 Ford 3/4 ton, 460-boat anchor and terrible gas mileage vehicle.

Make a cable.

• Have your trans shop remove the complete cable and sheath.
• Find out how long the cable should be.
• Find a shop to make a new cable to put in the sheath.
• Have your trans shop re-install.

'Terminated' cables are made all the time. A competent shop should be able to find the right cable, cut it to length, insert it into the sheath, and crimp suitable ends onto it. You might even find a motorcycle shop with clever mechanics who could do it.

I have a cable if you still need one .

I'd suggest contacting this member. He has a great deal of parts, and knowledge.

I will see if I can find one. I'm sure I do, but it's been moved to storage, and I'm sure boxed up.....

How much adjustment do you need? Most I've had to adjust we've done by bending the bracket on the transmission.
