Got it all put back together lastnight. My cables must have been really stretched as its much more precise and positive now.

No I completely understand now. I hate to admit it but I connected the cables wrong at the trans when I re-installed the engine. I was in a hurry to get it done. Probably why my cable snapped. But with 220K miles on the car it was probably going to happen soon anyways. What a dumb mistake.

I should have just opened up my service manual rather than posting my dumb ass question here. My mistake and I humbly apologize.

You've been here a long time so I can understand your annoyance to my persistence for an answer to my previous questions. I'm grateful for the response and will further study your diagram until I understand. Seriously though, thank you.

So the cable on the side of the shifter with the adjuster clip is the one that controls up and down? I'm so confused. I think what you're saying is basically the cables do not cross over. Right goes to right on trans and left to left connection on trans when looking straight ahead from drivers...

For anyone running across this post (sorry for the reviving of the necro thread) Midwest has a 6 month lead time. I asked them recently as my OEM cables broke. Another option is contacting Michael Rey on Facebook in the mazdaspeed6 owners group. Pricey but sexy cables. $550 a set. Hey...

Exactly.

Not sure why I'm here, or what I had for lunch today. Regardless, great forum. Glad I found it. Been on MSF for years.
