The outer casing had rusted and when put under pressure split. Without the strength of the casing, the cable just makes a loop and doesn’t do it’s job of moving the shifting lever on the back of the transmission.

There is a plastic hose inside of the grey one…then several wire ties.

We are now looking for new cables.
