Adjusting Bowding cable

Hi everybody,

I need some help with my transmission. It doesn't want to upshift, and in doing a search I found out that it might be the Bowding cable. Also is there anything else that would make my car do that, like a dirty transmission filter, leaking vacum hoses, ect........? The problem happend all of a sudden. I mean just one day it decided that it didn't want to shift into 4th gear. Then about an hour later it decided it did't want to shift into 3rd gear, and so on. When I finally got my car home I let it sit for a week or so. Then I changed the fluid but not the filter. I then took it for a drive and it was shifting fine for the first 15 minutes. Then all of a sudden it would not shift again. Is there anybody that can tell me how to fix the cable, and what's involved. Thanks.

It's a 1987 300D turbo w124
