seakaye12. please hang in there with me . I’m not following you completely. When I pulled the lower end, a brass tube came out. I put it over the cable down in the lower end. I did not see a spring. Where does it fit. I have no down pressure on the cable in the lower end. If I had that down pressure which would put it in gear, I could understand how this works. Putting the lever in the back position tightens the cable and puts it in neutral, correct? As to hooking up the cable, I can’t understand releasing the tension and tighten the cable. Also my cable is frayed on the end. How does this affect the outcome. Sorry I’m not very smart. Thanks
