Yea, the NAPA cable was new when put back together. It is round and looks smaller, but same thread as the big nut that was on the factory cable. Just gotta wonder if anything else different. I read a review on a similar aftermarket cable that said the liner is crap compared to original. That should not be an issue till it gets some miles on it. I need to get a look at how it seals into the gear. I know you said its the inner oring (what Anders is sending). But doesn't the cable need to seat on that? If that aint right I may be going back to NAPA. I don't care how long its been.
