check out the transaxle page and it will explain under new focus cables. Bill helped me out witht he problem though. When i didn't have time to do it myself, I got my mechanic to install them. When he didn't do it i checked and the cable, it was actually for the new focus and the links were for the old focus style. Tried to rig it and it didn't work, then Bill pointed me in the right direction and ordered new parts. Then I had an over the counter failure and bill is sending me a new pair of cables.
