Hi Bill
Two cables. The shift input shaft needs to be turned by one cable, and extended retracted by the other cable. Using the kit supplied by Fran, A spool shaped device is attached to the shaft. The outside of the spool has extensions allowing for attachment of the cable for rotation. The other cable attaches to a 90 degree bell crank. A roller on the bell crank fits inside the spool for extension and retraction. I am not sure which cable connects to the fore/aft and left/right of the shifter, However we should be able to determine this by rotating the shaft and observing the result. My trany remains has not been installed yet so I will check it later today an get back to you.
