    I have a bunch of stuff torn apart on my merc right now and have been bagging and tagging things, but can't seem to find what attaches the overdrive actuator cable to the overdrive lever on the ******. What's worse is I can't remember what it looks like to know what to look for in the rest of the pile. Does anybody have a pic? The green bible doesn't show it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Someone on the shoeboxford.com web site can probably help. Merc guys are there also.

    If you want to see the bracket/clamp on the side cover, I'll get you a pic as soon as my intern shows up with his camera. I have a trans sitting on my shop floor ready to be installed at this very minute.

    Yep, looking to find what holds the cable in the lever. Thanks.

    Pics of our overdrive should be the same as yours. The cable mount is between the two shift Rods see close up

    Thank you very much for the pics. I don't remember tearing that apart and my buddy doesn't either. Now we know what we are looking for. Thanks again.
