Karl Childers Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 I am on the hunt for a shifter cable, the cable that goes from the shifter to the arm on the side of the trans for a 1940 Dodge D14 Sedan, standard 3-speed on the column trans/non fluid drive trans. I already talked to Andy Bernbaum and he says NO WAY on having it or being able to get it...I think this may be the issue with my trans issue due to the cable binding up and not properly engaging the linkage. The sleeve and cable housing are bowing out and the "custom" double nut spacer/washers probably dont help it much. HELP!!!!!!! Thanks in adavance. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Is there such a thing as a business that builds cables?? They have to come from somewhere. Quote
Karl Childers Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 See, this doesnt seem to be a standard sleeved cable from how it seems, there are separated sections that run through that bracket (circled) but it is a very tough cable and it has an adjustable end on it. Not to mention it is probably like 5 feet long if i had to guess. Quote
HughForrest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Inline tube (among others) can custom make cables. Take a look at this article: http://www.inlinetube.com/articles/Brake%20Cables.htm Quote

Good luck. Jim Yergin the part number you listed refers back to a 6/8 cylinder W/overdrive...i dont have overdrive? i came to the conclusion that the cable cant stretch out since it is solid core cable inside the steel spiral sleeve i pulled it to find out whats going on and the cable binds up so bad that it just bows and doesnt push the cable out...if you set the cable in the correct location/adjustment and push the shifter away, it pulls the cable and lever on the trans just fine, when pulling the shifter it doesnt absolutely nothing. i also swapped the trans out for another i purchased off here to kill 2 birds with one stone on what it could be...im guessing my cable is just badly aged but it looks like brand new...even out of the car i cant push or pull the cable without extreme force.

Jim Yergin Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 If that is the wrong part number and you have the correct one then I suggest you do your own search on www.partsvoice.com or, with or without the part number, you contact the vendors listed and see if they can help you out.
