The shift cables aren't broken because the mechanism on the shift tower is moving, but nothing is engaging or disengaging it jsut moves freely. It is the front back cable and the side to side is just fine. Any and all suggestions please i was supposed to drive down to tennesse from MI but no more. 1998 T-Red SVT (SOLD) #4230 BOD-12/5/97 99 3L and stuff 2003 Jaguar X-Type

When i took off the shift tower cover the shaft felt a lil' wiggley, but i can turn the shaft by hand and there is no contact with anything. So does anyone have a part number for this? 1998 T-Red SVT (SOLD) #4230 BOD-12/5/97 99 3L and stuff 2003 Jaguar X-Type
