Here is a pic of my new speedo cable. This is the tranny end. The boot appears to be on the wrong way. Got this from the bird. Any one else have this issue? I am starting to loose faith in these guys.

The boots have been reversed on the cables for years. I have attempted to let them know, but frankly they don't care. They have a captive audience in us. We can't go elsewhere to get a cable.

I was able to get one off and turned the other inside out and put the one that I took off back on the other side. It was very tough and I did end up with a small tear in one of them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
