[QUOTE="Stand Up, post: 507075, member: 31842"] I've never worked on this stuff before, but I am a trouble shooter so... First, if possible, try operating the cable(s) without anything hooked up. You should be able to slide the cables easily. The sheath should be lubed with cable lube as some lubricants just bind things like this with dryness. Once you know everything is smooth, move to the next area. Be sure all the stuff that gets moved by the cables is able to move easily by hand and if not, hone in on the stiff items and repair. If all that works well, I would look at the steering box, if I can call it that, and see if the unit can be taken apart to be inspected, lubed etc. and repair or replacement as necessary. Inspect and lube or repair each item as you go. Take your time and enjoy and learn too. Take a few more pics so we can see in there and try and help. Don't give up and don't take it to "someone" because that someone is you. There's nothing better than getting to know whatever equipment you own. Keep us in the loop and good luck. [/QUOTE]
