Is the cable too short (no give)? Also the rear gearbox mount not moving?
Check your engine mount's are not broken.
Sounds like something is moving a fair way to snap that.

Got it sorted yet :?: :?: :?: :?:
#1 Make sure you have the right matching gears (There are two different drive gears and multiple cable gears)

#2 Make sure that you have the cable retaining plate slotted into the machined groove of the cable drive end.....NOT.........BOLTED DOWN OVER THE TOP :shock: :oops:
