[QUOTE="Comp04svt, post: 15687900, member: 73358"] Well the new OEM cable is in, so the car is good for now. For how many years I don't know lol. Couple of interesting things I thought I'd share though. The original cable that was in the car was OEM (don't know if it had been changed before I bought the car), the first one I put in was OEM, and now this one of course is OEM. After replacing the cable this time, the pedal effort was literally cut in half, and the engagement was a good bit higher than before. It was shocking to me how much the pedal effort changed for the better. The trans shifts 1000x better and a lot of the notchyness is gone. The other two cables were the same feel both times, stiff as hell. I've had the trans out a few times in the past in between replacing the cables and I do this the same every time. I take the quadrant off, hook the cable on, then re install so I don't have to mess with the adjuster/re adjusting and all that. Engagement is just as it was before and after. So I found it weird that this time the engagement was different, along with the feel. There was a number on the side of the old cable resembling a part number (2R3V-7K553-AA), which was different than the part number I got (2R3Z-7535-AA). Thinking the old cable was wrong or something I had the dealer run the number on the old cable to make sure. Apparently it was an engineering number, and when entered in, it brings up the cable I have. So maybe Ford updated/revised the part over the last 5-6 years. Maybe the new cable is slightly longer, changing the engagement point, or had something done to make it operate smoother and easier. Who knows. Just thought I'd update with that interesting info incase someone else runs into this in the future. [/QUOTE]
