My throttle had been hanging up for a bit now. Apparently I had gotten so used to it, that I didn't realize how really bad it was.
Installed a Terrycable yesterday and my throttle is so smooth, progressive and the touch is so light now. Modulation and throttle control is a snap now. If you've ever been on the fence about doing this, pass on the OEM and go straight to the Terry. Do it now. Go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |

I have only been preaching this for 15+ years.
The people who have problems with them: 1. dont have a throttle stop below the pedal (no pedal board) 2. they dont adjust the throttle stop and break cables all the time 3. rust in the throttle cable tube: CLEAN IT OUT with brake cleaner 4. they route it incorrectly and place it in bind 5. home made throttle brackets for carbs..

I hate the throttle cable on my car. It is stiff. It makes a underpowered car feel even more underpowered. My cable is a little kinked and the return spring is too stiff. I have been meaning to replace it all. Where are you finding terry cable? Is this just the inner cable or is is a complete cable?

B What the trick with the brake fluid? use a squeeze bottle or pour it in? then any prep after that? |

Brake CLEANER.
Some people are not too crazy about their clutch cables. |

Werd I had just made a serious upgrade to the power in 10JREEN but I was frustrated and the car felt like it couldn't put the power down the way I believed it should. It wasn't that the power wasn't there, it just didn't respond to my foot as quickly as I could work the pedals. Weird time-shift feeling. All gone now. Terry Cable at Pelican Parts $38.25 before shipping. Might be cheaper at others, but I didn't shop around. |

Some pro mechanics I know refer to Terry Cables as "aftermarket crap". Both the ones who have used that phrase to my face are the guys that I trust enough to pay to work on my car and My Attorney's SC. I tend to pay attention to their opinions.
