Great info on this page, tho I am 8 years down the road.....seems everyone has angle drive. What about the Tr4 without? The cable goes straight in the gearbox but my new one only barely enters the pinion. How far is is supposed to go in gearbox? My broken cable was in for about 1" and snapped. I pulled out with skinny needle nose and thought the new cable would go right back in. Not. Also. the Speedometer is now a tad difficult to get in and it seems drive cable is a little long sticking out (by probably the amount lost at gearbox). I have a hard time screwing both end caps in with the tension on cable. Finally, would the pinion gear at gearbox have seized breaking original cable and making it hard to line up the new cable properly to go all the way in, assuming its squared off inside and you cant put square peg in the round hole. Any ideas and I would be more than greatful! Cheers.
