gear selector cable

[heathernstewart]

Hi. Yesterday, suddenly. I could not get into gear! To cut a long story short, The AA very, very kindly , took out the battery, battery box, and managed to locate the gear select cable and re sit the "ball joint". He put a clip over it as a precaution but advised that I should replace both the cables with new ones.

Is there a modification to stop this happening again, without the expense of buying new cables?

Thanks for reading this.
