Go to Teleflex.com and use the dealer locator function. Get the number off your old cable. Usually about 5 or 6 " down from the metal end portion on the steering end. Example: Mine is a SSC 6212. The last 2 digit indicate feet in length of the cable.

If you was to take the cable off there will be some numbers on there and I believe the last 2 numbers are the length my Dad just changed his cable out. The best place to get one is Ebay you can get better deals there but be patient.

Heres my 2cents on when you reinstall it. Buy the cable lube system from some place like Bass Pro, Academy might sell it. It's a nut that slips over the cable shaft that allows you to use synthetic lube instead of grease. It will last alot longer, well, at least mine has lasted longer this time.

This is the one from Bass Pro. It didn't copy & paste the whole thing but you can go to their site and type that in to check it out. It's worked good for me.
