Inside the tube is a clamp that holds the cable shroud in place. When your cable gets old and you have to muscle the shift lever to get the boat to go in gear, the clamp can break. Trouble is, Edson no longer makes the clamp. So gently remove it and have a machine shop make you a new one. Make sure to get a new series 64 cable while you’re at it. The broken clamp is a symptom, the 40 year old cable is the problem. Chuck Gilchrest Former Edson dude 83 Landfall 35 (with the same shift assembly)
