[QUOTE="jj9320tsi, post: 14427788, member: 166182"] Well I'm a new CSVT owner and member here and after having the car a month it spun rod bearings #1,5,6 so I had to pull engine and trans and during the endeavor I broke the Collet for the white cable end. I searched all over the net and found this thread which unfortunately did not have the picture illustrations anymore... So I also went to the hardware store and bought a 5/16 x 18 Well Nut(the rubber expansion nut as mentioned above) but had countless attempts fail due to having to and trial and error to rig up some type of a retainer. On the 3rd try I started with a fresh undrilled well nut and the shift tower off the trans. I ultimately decided to remove the weighted arm that has the pin pressed into it and decided to grind down the back side and punch it out of the arm. Then drilled out the hole to 5/16 (a hair over actually) and got a 5/16x18x1-1/2" long grade 8 bolt, threw two washers on the bolt and installed it threaded side outwards toward the cable end. Then put the cable end over the bolt, then threaded the well nut on(threaded end first toward trans) and subsequently thru the white cable end. It held ok, but to alleviate the slop in the attachment of the cable I put another washer on outside of everything and put a lock-nut on the end and tightened it down, but not too much to cause any movement concerns. Now I have absolutely no play in the shifter and it has been rock solid for me for over a week. I'll try to post the pics so anyone else who finds the part number and calls to find that its obsolete and nowhere in the country has them except a bone yard if you're lucky lol. Hope this helps others out in the future. I'm unfortunately unable to add the pics at this time but I will try as soon as I get home from work. [/QUOTE]
