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 like Terry cables. I have had them make me several custom cables over the years. They will pretty much build them any way you want.

I replaced both my clutch and throttle cables with OEM (gemo) and they are smooth as silk. The advice I was given was to stick with OEM. Very pleased.
I think you probably can't go wrong with either as long as you install it correctly. Once approach: buy both, try both, keep the one you like better and keep the other as a spare. |
