I never heard of a cable only giving out. They stretch, you turn the nut a couple, they are back at top.
You are a trans guy, which didn't sound right, but have you ever seen one of those fat cables snap?
Notorious issue on Pre 92 Honda's even..
Honda's was my first taste of cable setups and that can go wrong . When right they right , but they do fail either from stretch or just snapping , hydro fails over time also so not like either are perfect . I just snapped a bike brake cable just not to long ago , that wasnt cool riding through trails
In the end the ranger was setup with hydro with provisions there to bolt up . It took me making a brake slave mount with 4 holes to bolt to the side of the trans to keep it like that . Trying to keep the trans cable would of been way more work in MY eyes . Yes the mustang rocked a cable all the way up to early 2000's . But even they finally went hydro .
