Try a wreckers would be your first bet. Last one I bought was from www.panelhouse.com.au or try Sydney Auto Dismantlers (they all freight interstate.)

Lemmie know if they have any spares too! I got a kinked one which is really stiff that I need to swap out.

Exact same thing happened to me, 1st gear prob and all. I got a 2nd hand selector cable from a GR, so if yours is a GPX dont stress, itll still fit.

haha yeah i was cruisin the streets and just went was still in first so i got it home to pull apart.

Bennoz I tryed a few car wreckers and panelhouse none of them have any in. I think my best best would be to get dstocks to import one. any idea on the price? my mechanic said he can make a new one up for $300+ but ahhhh thats like ahhhhh yeah...

All I can say is it is reeeeeeeeeeeally embarrassing driving home at 20km/h with your hazard lights on
