Hi All,

My new to me Jag is exhibiting some issues that seem to scream shift cable issues. In general it drives fine (Fantastically, in fact) but things get a bit terse when shifting between gearbox options and it dropped into neutral a couple of times.

I've adjusted the cable which has improved things (and seems to have cured the dropping into Neutral), but I can't still can't get into the low range gears (3 & 2). As in, physically, the stick won't go there. This is definitely cable or gearbox related (As opposed to shifter/surround) because it does the same when I remove all of the shifter plastics and I can't see anything that's broken.

I can see lots of mentions of people replacing this cable, but being new to Jags and Autos (never owned either) I was hoping to find a proper guide. I downloaded JTIS and I can't see anything related to gearbox/transmission at all.

Would you kind people be able to point me in the right direction?

And would you agree it's the right course of action? Still fairly confident I haven't purchased a total lemon, but I'll be over the moon if I can get it a little more right!

Cheers, Dan!
