I may have found the PROBLEM!!!!
The bat wing on the driver's side has been worn out.
There is a key, or of sorts, on the gearbox that aligns the bat wing to the gearbox. But the problem is that my bat wing has a rabbet carved very deep and for about 60 degrees, when it starts to taper up, so that the key isn't able to lock onto the gearbox. Maybe it's possible that this is the culprit. It doesn't explain why the rest of the diagonal teeth aren't engaging, though.
Perhaps I only need to buy a new bat wing.
My checks on the cable seem to indicate that it's good. I pulled the core out and it's square on both ends. it It engages the gear box. It might be a good idea to replace the gear box too, but they are fearsome expensive and I'm going to hold off on that as long as I can. I'm going to try to replace the batwing alone and see if that makes it better.
