So the original came out fine. But the new one is stuck somewhere, I looked at tunnel pics and there isn't a break in the tube, or is there?

I pulled the rear tunnel access panel and pull the shifter out of the way but I don't really see anything

The worst part is I cannot even pull the new one back out, it is stuck somewhere and I don't want to yank or push too hard to F things more.

I thought this was a easy project but dammmmm

Problem solved.

I ordered an OE Porsche cable today and it slid right in the no problem at all, without even any sort of lube or silicone spray.

If anyone have any problems like me, it might be a defective cable.
Even though both of the new cables measured the same at the start of the plastic portion I am thinking the diameter of the plastic is not consistent throughout and it is catching midway. I did not measure the rest of the plastic sheathing to find the exact defect area.

I will be returning the Coffle brand cable.
