I like many others have shifter cables sourced through CableShift, some have his shifter mechanism and some have the FORD GT shifter (as do I). I had advised Jim in the past that the side to side motion was very heavy (will not return to center on its own) and the fore/aft had noticeable drag as well. He does not make the cables, he orders them from various suppliers to spec, had no explanation and we put it down as "that's the way it's going to be". Others have commented to me they had the same experience, I just happened to have the assembly out of the car and tried a few experiments, turns out ALL of the drag comes from these brown seals, if you pop them off NO drag at all in the cables. I was told the cables come all ready to go no lubricant/additional lubricant (?) needed. My cables have none in them as far as I can tell.
Jim has been very helpful in all our dealings and I will ask his opinion on this after the holidays but, I wanted to get the information out there while I had time to write. Hope it will be of some use.
What lube would be the best for cables? I have seen most shifter cables greased in the past but don't know the preferred products.
Thanks
