Default Passing Gear Cable

Its been a while since i posted on here but im getting back into it just been super busy. I have a 84 corvette with crossfire motor. Last week my transmission burnt up so I was gonna take it to have it rebuilt. Well in the process of taking it out i was letting my buddy let the transmission down why i watched the pg cable and he hit the pedal to hard needless to say snapped that cable. My trans guy said it is rare to find one and the chevy dealership discontinued them does anyone know where I can get one or have any ideas????

I would think that virtually any auto parts store would have a TV cable that would get you fixed right up.

Are we talking about a auto or manual?

I would think that we're talking about an auto. There are no shift cables associated w/a manual, that I know of...

Your slipping Tom
The early 4+3's had a cable that looks like the TV cable on a T700
( regulated the line pressure in the O/d ? )
I was only asking because as you say a trans shop should be able to find a TV cable for a auto
