Shift linkage cable grease?

[gloryaccordy]

My shifter moves fine side to side, but feels like I'm shifting through rocks going forward and backward. I noticed my shifter cables for the side to side linkage is greased up, and the front-back linkage doesn't. Can I just grease up the cables or do I have to replace them?

Hows your trans fluid.

you could try pbblaster, but i think once it starts to dry out internally, theres no real way to lube the cable thatll last any period of time....

Multi Purpose Silicone Lubricant Spray

We'll see how long it lasts but it solved the problem for now. I think it was just the part of the linkage within the car. I got scared that ALL my synchros went and I'd have to sell the car... *wipes brow*

lol whew... yes that stuff is very useful, its just not penetrating like blaster is... if you find it drying out quick again, spray some blaster, itll work its way in and down the cable a lil ways... good luck
