DHL dropped of my order from Bill about an hour ago. That's really fast service.
Just for the record, the cable ends for the 98 MTX cable shifter is still available from Ford.
The entire cable assembly including ends is not. If the cable breaks, it has been updated with what may be the Cougar part number. So if you wear out the cable end you can still replace it by itself but if you break the cable you will need to replace the entire cable which will entail removing the consol from the inside as well as removing whatever you need to for access under the hood.
The part number for the cable end that is most prone to wear (the 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 etc gate) is F7RZ-7412-AA with a list price of $12.02 (CEG price $9.62).
The part number for the neutral gate cable is XS8Z-7412-GA with a list price of $9.65 (CEG price $7.72).
Moderator, you may want to add these part numbers to the stickies at the top of this forum to help save someone else so much grief.

A very reasonable $5.00 was added for shipping.
Bill is truly our parts friend.
PS If the whole cable would have been needed, it would have only been about $80.00.
