Raphael,
The cable simply slips into the hole and the outside jacket carries an
o-ring seal that oils-seals inside the hole. The inner cable has a little
bullet shaped piece with a slot all around. A piece inside the transmission
captures this bullet and has a spring hairpin that locks it. So don't push
the cable in the hole until you're ready to have it lock in. The outside
jacket is secured to the transmission by a slotted L-bracket that slips over
a slot in the outer jacket, and the other end bolts to the top of the side
bulge of the transmission.
To remove the shift cable, remove the neutral switch or fitting plug just
aft of where the cable enters. Remove the L-bracket. Pull lightly on the
cable while fishing around with a small slotted screwdriver. The free end
of the spring hairpin must be lifted a tiny bit to release the bullet. When
you hit the right spot, the cable will pull free.
Most amateurs get frustrated trying to get this cable to release when
pulling the engine or transmission, and they get the cable all buggered up.
It ends when they cut the cable.
Atlas Obsolete Motor Parts is reproducing these cables. They're not cheap,
but they are very good quality.
