The drive cable on my HRT216SDA is not fully engaging the transmission, causing transmission to slip. If cable were only a few 1/32's of an inch shorter it would work properly. Is there any way to make an adjustment? I thought about buying a new cable, but if new cable is the same, then I may have same problem. Maybe adjust the belt? Or a new belt? Help please. :confused:
