I just repaced all bellows and lower shift cable on a1996 Alph1 Gen 2. I did all the adjustments as described in the shop manual, and the shifter seems stiff. Both cables move freely when not attached to the bracket, but when connected and adjusted correctly, the movement is stiff. I routed the new cable the same as before by pulling a string through when removing the old cable. Any suggestions to get the shifter to move more freely.

Thanks,

Ken

Try disconnecting the throttle cable at the throttle body then reconnect the shift cables and see if there is a difference. If that works then back off the throttle body cable where it just closes the throttle body. There may be too much closing pressure on the throttle stop.
