Right, inside the vehicle the changer sits on a plate pop rivetted to the tunnel - with the actual changer bolted to it - you can see the pop rivets and the SS bolts in my pic ( off a project ) below.... ( gear knob is held on by a c-clip under the cover, and then the nut hold the knob on .... )

So, under the plastic cover, this is what you'll find ... cable obviously at the bottom on this pic ....

Inside the changer itself:-

So, the cable outer is held into the body by the "red" clip ... and the cable inner in to the mechanism by the "green" clip ....

A few hours working on the Land Rover was therapy in a way. After all, what is more normal than having to work on a Land Rover? Normal is good right now.

I looked up the price of a new cable. Glad I was sitting down!

A RRC with good tires is hard to beat in conditions like ours

$499 here, if you can find one. I think the cable on the '93 might fit.

Just got back from a wintery drive. 5 inches overnight and still coming down. The roads are quite adventurous. A RRC with good tires is hard to beat in conditions like ours.

They are great in the fresh stuff. Packed down turn to ice snow is a pita for everyone.
