Re: Shifter Cable for 1964 Dodge Polara

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The cable is probably frayed, inside the housing,  thus tight in the 
cable housing.
You may try spraying oil in the shifter end, and hoping it will run down 
towards the trans, but that's probably going to be a long shot. If it's 
frayed, that won't help.
NOS cables are like gold, and used are hard to come by.
I think Imperial services make them new.
I have some of the cables that are NOS, and used, but I'm sitting on 
them for spares for myself.
