Ok so i have to replace the throttle cable, so do I pull it from the rear - through the firewall, or would you pull it out from the front - in the cabin out ther front of the tunnel?
and would it be beneficial to tie on a small chaser wire, then leave it in place, to use to pull the replacement? |

Yes, it just pulls out from the firewall side.
It can't be emphasized enough, do not tie or attach anything to the old cable. The tube is pretty tiny, and anything attached will create more headaches when it gets wedged inside. The new cable should feed freely all the way to the front under its own inherent stiffness. Some have recommended using a light spray lubricant to help it pass, but that tube is about 4 feet long, so bear that in mind. |
