I'm having trouble finding a used one, can't even find these cars in junkyards in my area.
Anyone got one for sale?

Check out the point distance on the screw in both pictures.
The end on bills cable is way longer than mine, he has the bracket in the same place I do also,
And the same lever,
Bill, you bought that cable at Autozone correct?
 
My guess would be cable i can look at mine and see if it is the same as yours. I know the 3 spd cable and mount are different and wont interchange. I foud a used setup for my 200r4 cause the 3 spd cable and mount i had wouldnt work. from what i see you have the mount bolted on right and it looks like the right mount
 
Yeah...I bought mine at AZ...CA1102 is the part number. Yours looks like the CA1130, which they list online for the 4speed. What is the part number of your cable?

i bought mine at advanced auto -Part No 04251
you have a 4speed, do you have any trouble shifting through all the gears?

the shifter works fine, although i bought a 4sp bracket from another member and it is different than what the original was. The shifter will shift the trans fine from park to reverse to neutral, but i think its out of adjustment slightly because it has to be pulled back a bit to get it into drive, which should be easy with this bracket. either the cable out of adjustment at the trans, or the bracket (which is made for a GN) is not correct for this setup...but it does work. Heres a pic of the bracket...and the large hole at the top is where the shifter goes from reverse to drive without pushing in the button.

i would put money on you got a 3 spd cable that part number on amazon doesnt say anything about it being a 4spd cable said it was for a 3 spd. I looked on advanced auto web site and it didnt give the option to select the trans type nor did it say 3 or 4 spd

in the chilton's book it does say "typical floorshift cable control" so it may not be correct but I seem to remember it is the way my bracket went on. There is a couple of 200 r4 transmission's at the shop so this week I'll see if they still have the bracket and see which way it's installed
Yes please check that out for me please..... And when will you be going to the shop?
What I'm wundering is if the bracket IS flipped like in the picture from chilton's the cable will be even further away from the lever....

the GN 200 r4 at the shop still had the bracket installed and your is installed correctly....
