I hate being too broke to fix my car. I've been there before many times. What saved me were some online forums I found while doing searches. There's always somebody out there who has done it before and knows the problem. I'm sure you could find that person, their post and the pictures they uploaded showing what they did. Seriously, I've found some great advice out there.
Me and my son looked online, even at AutoZone's help site, but nothing suggested has worked so far. I'm pretty sure it's the cable, two people looked at it and said it was really slacking and it should be tight. Now I just have to figure out how to tighten it...my son is searching the webs for that info. If all else fails, my son just got a new pickup and is trying to sell his old one, if he sells it maybe I can get mine into a garage with the money he gets from it.
