I hate to have you all do this, but if you have ordered a new rear cable from Cabrioworld or TMI, then you need to check your nuts.
It seems like those lovely folks at TMI cost reduced the rear cable, they change it from 10mm to 11mm. Would of been nice to know so I didn't have to hunt down a flex gear wrench, as I couldn't find my old offset. To top that off AutoZone quit carrying the flex wrenches so BOO to TMI and BOO to AutoZone.

Re: Check your Nuts
what a PITA. 11mm sockets are hard enough to find, let alone a 11mm wrench or even worse an 11mm rachiting wrench. Rat Bastids, the lot of em'.

This is my second TMI cable, and in my humble opinion, they ain't worth it. The fit and the cheapness, don't bother make your own.

And the cable from VW, which costs triple what Cabrioworld, etc. charge, isn't of better quality... the sheath is, but the cable isn't. So, yeah, I support the "just make it yourself" idea.
