then the "adapter" pin od has to match the rooster comb hole id ? unless, of course, the od's of both adapter pins are the same, as well as the rooster comb's hole id's are the same.


The "bullet" at the end of the cable is the same diameter for both and the narrow groove bullet will snap into the wide groove adapter but not vice versa.

Basically, the wide groove adapter has a spring at the bottom of its bore, the spring keeps the retaining wire pushed against one side of the groove during all operation until placed in Park then the slot allows the cable to over-travel slightly without kinking the cable. The shift cable performs no function in Park, it just shifts the shift valve into a dead space in the valve body casting...a secondary mechanism in the shifter operates the separate Park cable.
