Volvo 240 gl 1991 KickDown and change up problem. 200 1991

It can be difficult to get that slack cable back into the sheath.

I suggest elevating the end as is shown in Art's photo and dripping a good penetrant onto the end of the sheath which will let gravity do the work.

After soaking with something like PB Blaster for a period of time grasp the cable with a pair of pliers about 1/4" from the end of the sheath. Push the cable back in an effort to get to go into the sheath. By grasping it close to the sheath it will not have a tendency to bend.

If you can get it to move apply more penetrant after you have moved it an inch or so and let it soak again. Continue this process occasionally pulling the cable out and pushing it back in. Once it moves easily (if it does) change to ATF fluid and drip it into the sheath again letting gravity do it thing.

If you can free it up you may just get some additional life out of it.

If you have to change it out for a new one I would be suspect of one that is an aftermarket. I have replaced two with aftermarket and both were a terrible fit where they snap into the transmission case; I would not buy another.
