The shifter cable is a simple device. It's the same as a bicycle brake cable. It's a solid wire that is run down a outer tube. Each end of the tube is secured in position and the wire slides inside. Move one end of the wire and the opposite end moves the same. If everything is good at the Transmission end, the problem is at the pedestal end. The tube is secured inside the pedestal and the wire is fastened to the lever there, inside the pedestal. Usually, you can see both by pulling the compass on top of the pedestal. It helps to look at the Edson website for their help videos. I shared that link earlier.
