Forward/Reverse cable issue
Hello everyone, new guy here. I posted a link in the Lifted section and haven't gotten advice yet so I thought I'd try to solicit responses from a more specific section of this forum. Basically, I installed a 6" Jake's Lift and new shocks on my 2001 gas Club Car (all done with the help and research from this site, even used site sponsors for purchases). Now the metal sleeve/heat shield will not fit into it's original location because the longer shock is in the way. Have any of you had this problem with your carts? What was your solution? Can you remove the metal sleeve? If so, how did you do it? Are you able to bend the sleeve to make it go around the shock? If so, do you have to be careful how much you bend it so you can still engage the cart into gear? Attached is a photo of the cable taken out of the bracket. If you need a better picture to assess the problem, let me know and I'll get another one. Thanks for you help. Oh, I couldn't help but add before and after pics of the cart. It's not complete yet but with the help of this site, it's well on it's way.

Here's a pic of mine. I also have a 6" lift, but mine is an '87 and the bottom of the rear shocks mount in a different place. I'm guessing the bottom of your shocks mount on a plate that sits atop the u-bolt?

Re: Forward/Reverse cable issue
Thanks for the idea Springbok. I am going to have to drop it a couple of inches I think.

Re: Forward/Reverse cable issue
because of the metal sleeve i was unable to even get it into the mounting location. i wound up using a pipe cutter to remove the metal sleeve. got the cable mounted in there and it works. i thought the rims were a little over the top for a hunting cart but they are growing on me. thanks for the kind words! i'll post a pic of my fix this evening.

Re: Forward/Reverse cable issue
What size wheels are them? And where did you have the paint done? All looks very nice!
