I changed my shift cable from the outdrive into the back to the shift cable bracket. I need the measurements of what the cable needs to be when in the bracket. I was wondering if anyone has the tool measurements, and its you could like make a copy of the tool and post a pics of the tool itself with the measurements on it, so I can get it correct.

Thanks
Chris

sierra part 18-9807 and 18-9810 just buy them is easyer.

ya I would buy them, but Im leaving tommorrow, and no time to get them..that why I need help quick...

For a quick fix, disconnect the drive cable at the engine. Manually shift the drive into neutral, find the detent position of the drive. Put the shifter control in neutral, find the detent position of the shifter. Adust the barrel on the drive shift cable so it fits into the bracket, maintain the neutral detent positions. Good luck.

boat1..thats what I did,,I just dont wanna tear up a drive...

You will be able to tell quick if adjustment is off will go into to gear slow

Well I started the boaton the hose and the prop starts spiking right away and stops as soon as I hit neutral

You might have to adjust cable after awile the new cable will stretch

I cut a notch in a paint stirrer when I put mine on - worked great.

That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Just swapped my stbd cable out the other day and am going to set it with this method.
