Transmission selector cable

Yep, thanks! I did see the Fitzall #T74498-1A. Not sure if that is the one you used.

It looked the most promising of the bunch, but unfortunately it's not getting here until the 10th or so.

So you have to drill out the nipple on the shift lever?

Yes, use a small bit, the metal is not hard so a regular bit works fine, just grab a pack of extra small cotter pins at either the hardware store or auto parts store
I bought this pack because had a selection of small cotter pins as well as other parts that come in handy sooner or later

Yes, I used a bushing and a c-clip that I had laying around. It's been working great for years

did you drill perpendicular into the nipple to make a hole for the cotter pin? Or did you drill parallel into the nipple from the back? See red lines

I just drilled right thru the nipple, just like it shows in my photo, I would put the fittings on and a washer if you are going to use one like I did then drill.
otherwise if you drill to far back on the nipple then the cotter pin will not go thru.
