First of all its not to cables its the two rods and there is more play in the shifter in it now then when i bought the car. This might help when i bought the car there was a scratch when ever i put the car in third gear and i couldnt power shift it at all.But to your question both rods are conected but other then that i dont know mutch more. I have talked to some ford guys at the dealership they said that the shift fork for 3rd and 4th broke and is stuck.
