Has any one found a replacement for the cable inside the "T" shifter handle? This cable lifts the detent dog. My original (1981) broke about a year ago - I made a repair - broke again.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Richard

Hey Richard, I had the same problem on my 90 w AOD. I got my hands on some aircraft flight control cable. I slapped that thing in and it's beem working just fine since. A place to look is the maintanence shops in local airports. Hope this helps. Spencer

Dynam have produced something unique this time, the PBY Catalina seaplane. Months of flight testing and design yield an aircraft that is super stable and capable of maintaining flight at super slow speeds that allow novice to master flight mechanics with ease.
