Broken cable or linkage? Transmission trouble (?)
To change a reverse cable on a go-kart, first, ensure the kart is securely lifted and turned off. Disconnect the old reverse cable from both the transmission and the handle or lever inside the kart. Install the new cable by threading it through the same path and securing it to the transmission and lever. Finally, test the functionality to ensure it operates smoothly before reassembling any panels.
Common signs of a broken transmission shift cable include difficulty shifting gears, the gear indicator not matching the actual gear, and the vehicle not moving when the transmission is in gear. To repair a broken transmission shift cable, the cable will need to be replaced by a professional mechanic.
The gears in your transmission may be sticking or worn out. This would cause your transmission to not be able to shift.

To adjust the transmission cable on a 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera, first, locate the cable at the throttle body. Ensure the vehicle is in park and the engine is off. Loosen the adjustment nut on the cable, then pull the cable housing until the slack is removed and the cable is taut, but not overly tight. Finally, retighten the adjustment nut and check the operation by moving the throttle.
The cable that runs from the throttle body to the transmission is the detent cable. The other cable is the speedometer cable.
Start by removing the gauge cluster, unhook the speedometer cable from back of cluster. Pull speedo cable thru the firewall, follow it down to the transmission, and then unhook it. Install in reverse order of removal.
