Depends on wherenit broke. You shoukdmbe able to get at the cable via the drivers wheel arch. Jack up car, remove liner and you should be able to locate the cable. Just pray it broke at the footwell end.
97 Manual GPX. Icecelle Blue.
Other Stuff: Induction kit. Front Strut. Apex Lowered. 17" Kahns. Quad exhaust. HID lights. Glow dials and rings/cups. Black leather seats. Window tints. Sunroof.
