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 |

I recently replaced all my cables and made sure to get the terri clutch and throttle.
I was surprised to see the throttle cable didn't have a plastic sleeve on it. I honestly don't like that. Does the Gemo have the plastic sleeve on the throttle cable? |
