Hello SSR Fanatics,
My friend Armin broke the plastic part of the shifter cable by pulling out the gear-box lever.
Getting a good replacement of the OEM is a hard task, so he had to help himself instead:
-He sawed off the metal rod at the end of the broken plastic and tapped a thread to the newly cut end (Unvisible underneath (1)).
-He extended the metal rod with a long hexagonal nut (1) and screwed in another metal rod with a thread (2). The second nut is for locking the longer nut (3). He also added loctide.
-After that, he replaced the plastic/rubber joint with a metal ball-joint (4), which he screwed to the end of the metal rod (2).
It works great and it seems to be a lot sturdier than before.
Good thing, that this happened at the end of our season!
I hope this is a helpful description to solve the breakage of the plastic shift cable! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Best Regards,
Roman
