wtb 4 spd cable clip

This is the C clip that holds the shift cable to the 4 spd shifter assembly on the tranny. Mine fell off or was missing the whole time.

Or if I can buy new from a retail outlet thats fine too if you know where I can get one.

C-clip or hair-pin clip?

It looks like a C. It pushes down from the top on the shift bracket to hold the shift cable in place.

Search for "c clip" or "e clip" after you've got the basic measurements with your calipers. McMaster-Carr is awesome for odd bits and pieces like that.

I had mine pop loose during a so-called power shift, and was stuck in second gear all the way home. I got a flashlight, which I thereafter kept in the Fiero, and found the clip was still with me, but it was blocking the other cable from moving. Weird. One in a million. Anyway, based on this, I'm gonna spot-weld instead.

IIRC, when I swapped my trans, I had a pile of these that were all identical from the 4spd trans end and the 5spd shifter end. I dug up 3 today, all identical. I'm sure I can spare one shaun. How's $2 shipped?

Are you really so hard up you won't just drop it in an envelope to the guy? Sure he's a douchebag, but I don't think any of us are so hard up we can't spare a stamp and mail him a spare widget if you have a small pile of them.

P.S. I hate the emoticons on this forum, talk about a bunch of useless crap. Did Shaun pick them???

You're right, Bryce. He has helped me lately. Shaun, pm me where you want one shipped.

I think any autoparts store sells a little HELP baggie of a dozen different ones.

Ya, but this ones like an 1" wide.

or you can pocket them at your local salvage yard.

Seriously Shaun, I feel bad I asked for money in the first place, where do you want one sent?

Shaun, I wasn't agreeing with bryce about the douchbag part. You might have noticed I even called myself a douchebag in a recent thread. Someone else sent me a pm with your address; I could include a picture of my cock if that'll sweeten the deal. :la:

Sorry lucky, but facts is facts...you did agree with me. :withstupid:

I'm not denying what I typed. I clarified what I meant. I was originally not gonna ask for any $$, but then I figured even if I said $2 shipped it still wouldn't cover Paypal fee and shipping; unfortunately it's not a flat clip, can't just put it in an envelope, it'd come right back to me. USPS won't ship odd shaped items in envelopes.

Shaun, you want one of these or not?

shaun is a douche bag, and I tried mailing some 3.4 emblems off a,lumina one time. 2 in an envelope with the usps. 1 arrived in a half of an envelope.

you have to reinforce any envelope that travels to florida - their mail system is hard on them and rips em up a lot.

wrappign the envelope in clear packing take usually solves it.

Sure if you stillw ant to mail it to me great. Pm me with the address you were given and I will verify if its correct or not.

You can put the C clip in one of those bubble wrap envelopes. Can get it for a dollar. and it will probably be like $.50 to mail it. If you want a buck or two thats fine with me.

P8ntman if you want to pick one up too that you talked about you can still do that. I guess it doesn't hurt to haev an extra laying around.

thanks guys!

Lucky are you going to kick hill tomorrow? If we both get coffee on the way, and pool the change, we may be able to help shaun out?

Shaun41178(2) · Post by **Shaun41178(2)** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 9:31 am
