probably your ground connection to the motor is bad. So the current found its way over the shift cable. Check your motor ground connection and replace your shift cable, then everything should be fine. bye, Ralf.

September 2004 03:35 An: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [DML] What the hell is going on here...my shift cable MELTED? Yes, that's right folks. Remember the other day I was talking about all that smoke I saw when I was trying to start my car with a wrench? It turns out that it was the shift cable melting. I found this out when I tried to wiggle the shift lever and it wouldn't budge. So, I take a look underneath my car, and the black part of the manual transmission shift cable is all bubbled up and melted. What the HELL just happened here????? BTW, I'm still trying to remove the shift cable, as it's not coming out easily.
