My ZT-T came home on the hook for the first time today. Initially on the road I thought that the issue was clutch hydraulics but it became obvious that it was the gearchange cables causing the problem.
I lost all of the gears and the gearshift has the sensation of a broken or disconnected cable. The cables are fine at the gearbox end and I can manually move the selectors on the box, so tomorrow I will get the car up on stands and pull the shifter out to see what's happening. It's a nuisance as if I need cables DMGRS won't be able to ship them until Monday which means I may not see them until the following week (I'm in Canada) and I was planning to put a couple of hundred km on the car next weekend.
