My PO had a thing rigged up and I want to see the correct installation/gear as I'm finishing the installation of my Dr Evil sorted transmission.
Thanks!

Click to view attachmentThis shows the correct installation of the cable retainer, the "Tab Washer".
The boot in this picture should be slipped on to the end of the cable housing and away from the roller.
The cable goes thru the eye of the tab washer all the way onto the metal end of the cable housing. Then the metal end of the cable housing slides into the opening in the support bracket. This puts the tab washer between the cable and the support bracket. The tab is then bent around the back of the support bracket and the end is poked out thru the hole in the bracket. This make it so the cable can't slide back out of the support bracket.
Then the boot slides on the cable and all the way up on to the metal end of the cable housing, where it helps keep dirt and grit out of you cable.

Here's a picture of mine.
Steve_R, your tab washer is installed incorrectly. It should be on the other side of the support bracket and the tabe should be coming around from behind the bracket and poking out of the whole it is now poking into.
The bottom line is that the tab washers function is to keep the cable from sliding out of the slot in the support bracket and stranding you along the road some where.Some saftey wire could be used, wire ties could be used, an old coat hanger could be used but the tab washer is a nice clean install and what was OE.
