Thanks for the update, 364nailhead. Sounds like I need to take my yoke out and make sure all is clean and well lubed. My cable seems to move freely, but I’ll lube it up too. I’m thinking of attempting an epoxy repair on my original until I come up with a new pawl (or whatever the plastic piece is called). Do you have the actual name and/or oem p/n? And what great luck to find a NOS part on eBay!? What search terms did you use (unless that is top secret until you get a spare or two 🙂 ).
Cabellero2, would your friend possibly make some more?
Thanks everyone.
