I know this was brought up before but I need a good diagram on how the cables go and how everything is installed. I appreciate any help.

Tried to send scanned copies of the Shop Manual, even one page is too large.

I tried emailing it and I can do that. I will email it to you.

Putting the cables back on can be frustrating at best...tight quarters and small sharp edged access. It was one of the first things I did when I first got my car. I took mine apart and made sure I understood how it worked. The main drive cable illustration in the Shop Manual (Fig. 24) I think is wrong, but you'll get the idea when you look at the part. The "holding pin" (Fig. 25) MUST be used to hold the tensioner in place while you route the cables and it is put in from the top of the cowl. Extra hands help so do small hands. There is a access cover that can be removed too. The job is not hard but it involves patience, it took me half a day.

Thanks for the replies. A good diagram would help.

   I sure am glad that when I did my ww cables, there was no nose or engine in the car.  Just take your time when doing the job.
