Couple of quick questions please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got two questions I'd like to ask: 1) I just ordered a detent cable for my '86 SWB with 350 CID and TH 350 transmission. The truck didn't have one on it when I got it. The new cable is only about 36 inches long. I haven't tried to mount it yet, but it looks awful short to me. Is that about the right length? 2) I've got a lot of sloppiness in my gear shifter on the column. I can put it in reverse and I can wiggle it back and forth causing the back up lights to go on and off. Reverse seems to be the worse. Would that sloppiness comes from the steering column itself, or the linkage on the transmission. Thanks for any help you can give.
