As you know i missed the drag racing because my shift cable decided to seize up for no reason!
It was boggling me real bad, but have found the reason! I only have a small guage ground wire to the chassis, so the shift cable was acting as the main ground cable with all the laptops and touchscreen and all the crazy electronics i have in the car and the fans on all the time, electric water pump, 100degrees lol it was too much and my shift cable acted as the ground cable to the chassis, and welded itself to the outter sleve...
Something very stupid i would have never ever thought of! (my transmission guy told me its common) so hooray for finding the cause and this bs wont happen again!
Something to think about if this crazy shit ever happens to you! Because i have been working on cars full time for more than 9 years and have never seen this happen.
