Sixto,

Boy do I feel like an idiot.

I didn't think of looking on the other side of the engine as you indicated. I kept looking on the drivers side and only saw the vacuum line.

Yes, now I see the Bowden cable now. I noticed that the sliding part sticks a little bit. That may be why my transmission is shifting late!
