Th cable works a toggle/lever on the side of the OD case. It moves a lock up paul to engage the planetary gears that increase out put shaft speed. The whole thing works all the time it's just not connected until the cable is in. Good luck! By the way, if you are under the car look around on the OD case for numbers that include R10 or R11. R11 is stronger but for your use R10 is fine.
