Get the right cable. Some Sears kits come with two cables. You may need one with the spring if you are wondering where to attach the cable and you do not see any hookups. At the end of the cable, there is retainer that goes in the metal non-moving belt-keeper. The rest of the cable and spring at the end goes under the 90 degrees straight down to the little tab on the leaver that is part of the transmission. Spring needs to be attached to that tab, You must clean the grass to be able to see it. It's tiny whole and hard to see. When you pull the cable, you are just lifting the whole transmission up and increasing the tension on the V-belt. That's how it works. The spring must go in that tab with no obstruction under the perfect angle. ( If it's tipped to one side, just take spring out and put it back on another side of the leaver. On my model the right way is to insert the spring from inside out when you face the mower.). This may sound confusing, but it's not that complicated when you see that little tab at the end. If your cable broke, it's possible that you lost the spring and your cable ends where you see that retainer on the belt keeper. If that's the case you just need cable with the spring and in my case that was part number 400292 (comes with two different cables and one has a spring on it).
I could not find any instructions on this and part from Sears comes with no instruction. Warning: The drive cable is fragile and can break. Make sure you do not bend it!
