Postby Stew0104 » Tue 17.04.2012, 14:15

Hi all

Hoping you can help me out, i have an Elan in to replace the gear linkage cables, gearbox end is fine obviously but the gear lever end i just wanted to know where you access them from? To save me pulling half the car apart

Many thanks

Here's the section from the manual.
If you are replacing the cables be aware that the original twist and lock type fitted to the SE Elan are not that strong and the S2 type are expensive but there is an alternative Link
Stronger than either the SE or S2 cables as there no plastic in their construction and in fact cheaper.
