[C320-list] Shifter

[mike gutshall]

I had a similar situation last spring.  I had a local service provider check it out.  They ended up lubricating the cable and it has worked fine ever since.  I am sure that sooner or later I will face having to replace the cable.

Hope this helps.

I tried to shift at the transmission direct linkage and its easy to  move into and out of gear while the cable is still attached and the gear lever at the binacle moves with ease while moving it. I removed the cable at the shifter lever up top and the shifter moves very easy. After reconnecting the cable to the gear lever its hard to shift again. My thoughts are the cable needs replacing but doesn't make sense that at the transmission its easy to move.
