Thanks FMDivision. Based on your experience, do you think the crack could be the cause of my problem, or just a symptom of another problem? I tried again and it doesn’t seem to flex at the crack at all.
Also, i cant find an OEM cable anywhere online. I bought another aftermarket cable (Cofle) just to have another as backup that is not the Pioneer one. I will try adding some washers this weekend to see what that does.
