know what you mean. Mine was real loose and sloppy. If you check 4wd or quadratrac. They have all the parts you need. There should be plastic bushings where the attachment rod slides through on the transfer case. Also the pins that hold the shift linkage will ware out. or some people replace tem with screws. Also their should be a plastic tip on the end of the shift rod that takes up the slack where it slides through at the shift rails. If you replace all these pieces you will see a big improvement. Or you could swapp in a twin stick shiffter.

How do you replace a transmission cable for a 1989 eagle premier?

There are two cables. One is the Throttle valve (TV) cable and that should go from the throttle linkage to the transmission. It will pop off the throttle arm and there is one bolt holding the cable housing to the transmission. take it out the bolt and unhook the linkage and replace the cable making sure to snap it back on at the throttle arm. The other cable is the for shifting and it should attach to a lever arm on the side of your transmission and go to the shifter linkage. If you are under the car and have someone shift with the car off you will see the the arm moving disconnect it from both ends of the cable and replace.
