This morning on my way to the assignment for the day as I went to shift from 2nd to 3rd the shift lever moved, but the car stayed in second gear. After attempting to drive a short distance on the freeway stuck in 2nd gear, I found a place to stop and hang the shift cable end back onto the shift tower and hold it back in place with a plastic wire tie.

I was only two minutes late for my appointment.

So I guess it's time to break down and buy a new shift cable instead of trying to find a way to make the obsolete parts work.
