stiff shifter cable

Oh dear, oil before WD40?
WD40 forbids the water to re-wet the surfaces.
Oil and grease do not fight that effect so well.
Keep renewing the WD40 every now and again.

Wes,

I'm not trying to rip the thread off, but yes, WD-40 makes good starter fluid for a diesel. Much safer than real starter fluid, which is ether, and will destroy a diesel's rod bearings in about two or three good squirts. Much too explosive for a high compression engine.
