The chronicles of my efforts to put a classic Porsche 911 back on the road, mostly a DIY adventure being accomplished in one man's garage.

dammit all to hell
I gleefully reported a while back about once again knowing how fast I was going. Apparently that was short lived. Driving to work the other day one second I was doing...umm the legal speed limit....and the next I was doing nothing.
I know why this is, I tried the cheaper, easier fix which apparently was also tried by the previous owner with the same results. I replaced only the cable, and not a whole cable & sheath. I noted when I installed it that the cable seemed a little bit long, I felt like I had to shove the last 5-6" into the sheath. I was afraid this would mean it would cause a problem and after a few hundred miles the new cable snapped :(
That's what I get for trying to do the easy(er) fix. Back to the drawing board.
