Could I ask advice as to where I should post a query?

[JeffJ]

My gear cables (or perhaps the selector) failed on Friday night. Should I post queries about this under the 'Problems - Need Help!' heading, or in the 'Transmission, and clutch' section?

I have read the guide to new topics by ‘Enright’ at:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12252

But because mine are in the nature of ‘individual’ queries, I don't think that they have been addressed elsewhere, though I have used the search function as best as I can to get as far as I can ‘down the road’ to answer my questions.

I have also read the comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and temporary repair of gear cables by ‘Specky’ at:

viewtopic.php?f=48&t=18246

I think that this pointed me in the right direction, and perhaps would have answered my queries, if only I were a little more technically adept.

I hope that I’m not breaching this site’s ‘netiquette’ with this first post. I’m afraid that I’m not very good with the internet – and I struggled somewhat with ‘logging on’ when I forgot about capital letters in my password!

Welcome to the forum- I don't think you'd be out of line to post in either forum, people aren't unkind here. (Worst case scenario, the whole post can be moved to a different forum if need be)

If your gear cables are gone, you'll want to buy replacements from AB - http://www.abmotosport.com/Elan_gearcable_fitment.htm

It's one of the more common issues in our aging cars.

Thanks for taking the trouble to ask, oh and welcome to the forum.

I'd add to Specky's thread if I were you as it's worth keeping that one active with it being so useful.

I'd add to Specky's thread ...

And I think people ought to be able start their own individual threads when they have a problem rather than adding it to someone else’s.

Using a well chosen title would improve subsequent searches.
