[QUOTE="Valley Vette, post: 108476, member: 1008"] Hi Graham, I did the YouTube search and there's a number of fine "how to" videos that show the metre long shifter cable and the clips on both ends that have a long history of failing when they get old and brittle (don't we all...but I digress). So the only question may be: which end failed? Then it's where can I get the replacement part? But I'll leave that for later in the week when I can remove the shifter and have a look.The good news is that it failed while backing in to the garage; not on some back road a million miles from home....at night! Yes, it was bittersweet seeing the C3 go. Chap who purchased it lives just a ways up the road so we'll see the Vette now and again for a bit (he plans on relocating to the west coast in due course). Like our 1912 Model T that we sold to another chap almost within view down the road, our old cars leave us but stay pretty close by and drop in evey now and again! Reminds me of our kids...
