It's been a while since I've bought a new throttle cable, but I need one now. I've been working on my car fixing small stuff the last couple weeks, and took it for a "test drive" tonight...
3rd gear & 3.6 & a stuck throttle - that was exciting. I was able to pull the throttle pedal/bar back and get it unstuck, but definitely time to get a new cable. I can see where it is frayed near the engine. What is the better cable between the Terry cable or OEM Gemo? I seem to recall problems with the Terry cable, but thought I'd check here first... -Steve |

Have you eliminated a spring or bellcrank issue on the throttle body (or carbs)
I've always been impressed with Terry cable quality. What type of cable is it now? I have a 993 (not 964) motor in mine and have always used a stock 993 throttle cable. Because it came with the motor I never tried any others. The routing is the same through the tunnel but a cable stop was needed there. A bulkhead engine mount would've forced drilling a small hole for it. Otherwise it was trivial. Good luck |
