I did a search and found only a reference to cable shifting the 203. Has anyone used a cable type shifter on there 205. Pictures would be great. Thanks

Cable shifting the NP205?

I don't think you would ever find a cable (well, not a common automotive type shifter cable) with the ability to push a 205 shift rail, much less 2 with the see-saw hooked up...
AFAIK 'Morse' type cables only go up to 1/4-20 threads. I pretty sure you'd need something bigger than that to be able to push. Pulling wouldn't be an issue.
I think you would need two cables, each set up to pull in an opposite direction of the other. Stout bracketry will be key to it working well.

It can be done, but you have to remove the detent balls and springs, use leverage to your advantage (which would mean a cable and shifter with ALOT of throw), and somehow detent the shifter to keep it from moving once a gear position has been reached.
Is it doable...Yes. Is it feasible or prudent with space limitations and cost/headaches associated........?
Is there a particular reason for wanting this (doubler, custom setup, etc.)?

I have a doubler with a Ford 205 mounted upside down. I just don't have a shifter and wondered if this would work. The 203 shifts easy but the 205 is alot harder. Just looking into all the options /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I will just make some regular shifters tonight. Thanks
